Decoding the Microbial World
Microbial genome sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of the microscopic world, unlocking a treasure trove of information hidden within the DNA of microorganisms. From understanding disease mechanisms to optimizing agricultural practices and bioremediation, the applications are vast and impactful. However, raw genomic data is just the starting point. To truly understand the function of these organisms, we need to annotate their genomes.
