The emergence of metagenomic approaches has allowed researchers to access and study these microbes in a culture-independent manner through DNA sequencing and functional expression of metagenomic DNA in a heterologous host. Metagenomics has revealed an extraordinary degree of diversity and novelty, not only among microbial communities themselves, but also within the genomes of these microbes. This Research Topic aims to showcase the utility of metagenomics to gain insights on the microbial and genomic diversity in different environments by revealing the breadth of novelty that was in the past, largely untapped.From Genes to SpeciesMicrobiology (non-medical)bicsscDNA SEQUENCINGfunctional metagenomicsHuman microbiomeMetagenomicsmetatranscriptomicsviral metagenomicsMicrobiology (non-medical)Eamonn P.
