Segata Lab - Computational Metagenomics (original) (raw)

The human microbiome harbors many unidentified species. By large-scale metagenomic assembly of 9,428 samples from diverse populations, we uncovered 154,723 microbial genomes that are recapitualed in 4,930 species-level genome bins (SGBs). Many species (77%) were never described before, increase the mappability (e.g., median mappability >95% in the gut) of metagenomes, and expand our understanding of global body-wide human microbiomes.
