This video is part of the virtual EMBO Practical Course: Microbial Metagenomics: A 360º Approach.
Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of microbes by direct extraction and cloning of DNA, that allows studying communities of organisms directly in their natural environment. It offers a powerful lens for observing microbial communities on a broader scale and addressing fundamental questions of microbial diversity, evolution and ecology.
