SOlid &&&& Metagenomics

[fanyucai1]

Are there some research to Metagenomics using Solid???? Otherwise, the short read (about 50bp)to apply thie field????

Are you looking for software, or asking about whether people have used Solid in metagenomics so far ?

I think de novo assembly is a little trickier, but I'm not worried about the read length for our chosen analysis techniques.

Thank you for your reply. I want to know whether some papers about Metagenomics on the basic of Solid sequencing.

Thank you for reply. I will try it.

The last 4 datasets mentioned are very nice, and are from

Iverson et al 2012, Science.

Thanks colindaven, neat papers, esp. genome-from-metagenome one. And yet I still have a question: is it even possible to use raw color-space reads (ie no assembly, no transforming to base space) to analyse a metagenome? As I've heard, BFAST and some other tools can do alignment of .csfasta against reference genome, but will they work against, say, NCBI database?
