Computational analysis of metagenomic data: delineation of compositional features and screens for desirable enzymes
1 like2,089 views
This document summarizes a presentation on analyzing metagenomic data to identify useful enzymes. It discusses using GC content analysis to understand microbial communities and detecting proteins. Specific enzyme classes like nitrilases, nitrile hydratases and polyketide synthases that have industrial applications are examined. New members and subfamilies of these enzymes were found in metagenomic datasets. The talk highlights challenges in metagenomics but emphasizes its potential to explore the microbial world and discover novel biotech enzymes.
