• Microbes rule the world. Unveiling the microbiome is a challenge. It was evident that only < 2% of microbes in the globe is culturable and the remaining is hidden. Hence the current knowledge on existing microbiome is scarce. In the era of modern omics, metagenomics has spawned up as a powerful tool to unlock this blackbox. Today metagenomics in microbiology has travelled long in environmental and clinical microbiology across several barriers. Functional metagenomics offers sustainable solutions to planet, people and profit to bio-economy through high resolution 4G sequencing techniques. Data integration is a crucial step in metagenomics data analysis. Viral metagenomics is a least explored one. The emphasis on cutting edge research seems integration of high throughput sequencing and bioinformatics. Concisely considering the significance of soil metagenome, Soil Metagenomics provides a concrete base for understanding the principles and methods involved in soil metagenomics. This book focuses on the recent advents and technological breakthroughs in metagenomic approaches coupled with their applications in agriculture. The intended audience include soil and environmental microbiologists, molecular biologists and policy makers. The book Expertly describes the latest fourth generation metagenomic technologies from sample collection to data analysis, metatranscriptomic, metaproteomic and metabolomics studies Includes miniquiz and a glossary session for easy understanding of the readers Presented topics include techniques in soil metagenomics, gene discovery, taxanomic and functional diversity of soil microbial communities, mobile metagenomics, viral metagenomics, bioinformatics and data analysis, fourth generation sequencing, application of metagenomics in agriculture and the future of metagenomics.
