WGM (Shotgun Metagenomics)
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing is a relatively new environmental sequencing approach used to examine thousands of organisms in parallel and comprehensively sample all genes, providing insight into community biodiversity and function. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing is unique in the sense that you’re trying to sequence a large diverse pool of microbes, each with a different genome size, often mixed with host DNA.
