Abstract

This humble effort highlights the intricate details of metagenomics in a simple, poetic, and rhythmic way. The paper enforces the significance of the research area, provides details about major analytical methods, examines the taxonomy and assembly of genomes, emphasizes some tools, and concludes by celebrating the richness of the ecosystem populated by the "metagenome."

Keywords: Functional annotation; Metagenomics; Networks; Next-generation sequencing; Pathways; Taxonomy; Visualization.
