Next generation sequencing and microbiome's taxonomical characterization of frozen soil of north western Himalayas of Jammu and Kashmir, India

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, microbial genome sequencing has been restrained to the species grown in pure culture. The development of culture-independent techniques over the last decade allows scientists to sequence microbial communities directly from environmental samples. Metagenomics is the study of com...

Microbial communities from arid environments on a global scale: a systematic review

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
Abstract Arid environments are defined by the lack of water availability, which is directly related to the mean annual precipitation (MAP), and high values of solar irradiation, which impacts the community composition of animals, plants, and the microbial structure of the soil. Recent advances in NGS tec...
