Viral metagenomics is the study of viruses in environmental and biological samples by utilizing next generation sequencing that generates very large data sets. Viral metagenomics analyzes viral sequences to deduce the impact of viruses on the environment of human health. Unlike amplicon sequencing, metagenomics obtains and investigates genetic material directly from environmental samples, which has led to a new…

Microbes are present almost everywhere. They play a vital role in cycling carbon, release important compounds, and may be associated with infectious diseases. Metagenomics is the culture-independent genomic research of microbial communities. Metagenomics presents a powerful tool to study prokaryotes and viruses in the environment via the analysis of their DNA obtained directly from environmental samples. This…
