Large-scale analysis of novel cellular microbes. Large-scale analysis of novel cellular microbes

Shotgun metagenomics provides access to genomic information of microbes that have not or can not be cultured. The recovery of metagenomic assembled genomes (MAGs) of these organisms enables in depth analysis of these elusive organisms. But while prokaryotic MAGs are routinely collected and studied, MAGs of eukaryotic species are seldom reported. As MGnify is the largest collection of assembled metagenomic material to date, we used MGnify and other resources to systematically look for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic MAGs across multiple biomes. This project includes samples from the following biomes: root:Mixed
