Question

[deepakrishna.bioinfo]

Hello everyone,

I'm writing a paper on soil metagenomics, I want to analyze the samples using tools but am not sure where to get the raw data for analysis.

I also want to know how is this soil metagenomics going to help crop improvement.

Thanks all!

Thanks for the response, but I wanna know how do I carry the workflow???

Just get the sequence, run it using RAST server??

I also want to know how to interpret this for crop improvement, this is first time am working on metagenomics and have no clue...

Pls help me.....

And I want to know how to implement a parallel hypergeometric summation algorithm, but I don't expect that somebody in the internet will just tell me how. Instead, I'm actually going to read some relevant scientific literature, use google, etc., and then finally ask specific questions in forums..

Answer 1

mg-rast has nearly 32k public metagenomes
