Sequencing the Invisible: Advancements in Microbial Ecology's Investigative Arsenal

EasyChair Preprint 12245

Abstract

This paper explores the cutting-edge advancements in sequencing technologies and their transformative impact on microbial ecology. The advent of high-throughput sequencing platforms has revolutionized our understanding of microbial communities by allowing for the comprehensive analysis of their genetic material. Metagenomics, in particular, has emerged as a powerful tool, enabling researchers to study entire microbial communities directly from environmental samples without the need for isolation or cultivation. This approach provides a snapshot of microbial diversity and functional potential within a given ecosystem, offering insights into ecological dynamics, biogeochemical processes, and even the potential for biotechnological applications.

Keyphrases: Applications, biotechnological, potential
