Strain-resolved large-scale metagenomics
Shotgun metagenomics has uncovered a substantial amount of diversity in the human microbiome and can be used for pathogen detection and characterization. However, a large fraction of the sequences in a metagenome remains uncharacterized. In my talk I will show how the combination of multiple reference-based and assembly-based computational approaches can be used for strain-level profiling of the organisms present in metagenome from large human cohorts.
