Introduction To Metagenomics

Uploaded by

Suhail Patharvat

The document discusses metagenomics and its applications. Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. It allows the study of microbial communities without isolating individual species, as most microbes cannot be cultured in a laboratory. Metagenomics techniques include sequencing DNA fragments from samples to identify genes and microbial diversity. Functional metagenomics involves cloning DNA fragments into host cells to identify novel genes and their functions. Metagenomics has applications in medicine, bioremediation, and understanding the human microbiome. It has potential to aid in disease research and drug discovery.

 Traditional microbiology and microbial genome sequencing and
genomics rely upon cultivated clonal cultures.
 Early environmental gene sequencing cloned specific genes to produce
a profile of diversity in natural sample.
 99% of microbial species cannot currently be cultivated.
 The term “metagenomics” was first used by Jo Handelsman, Jon Clardy,
Robert M. Goodman, and first appeared in publicashion in 1998.
 This relatively new field of genetic research enables studies of organisms
that are not easily cultured in a laboratory as well as studies of organisms
in their natural environment.

 Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from
environment samples. (Wikipedia)

 Metagenome refers to the idea, that a collection of genes sequenced from the
environment could be analysed in way analogous to the study of a single genome.

 Metagenomics is application of modern genomic techniques to the study of


communities of microbial organisms directly in their natural environments,
bypassing the need for isolation and lab cultivation of individual species.

 In medicine, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory
conditions of the colon and small intestine. The major types of IBD are Crohn's
disease and ulcerative colitis.

Crohn’s disease Ulcerative colitis

The incidence of Crohn's disease The incidence of ulcerative colitis


has been ascertained from in North America is 10–12 cases
population studies in Norway and per 100,000 per year, with a peak
the United States and is similar at 6 incidence of ulcerative colitis
to 7.1:100,000. occurring between the ages of 15
