TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the same biological conclusion is reached using different NGS technologies when stringent sequence quality filtering and accurate clustering algorithms are applied.

TL;DR: The ability to explore soil microbial communities with increasing capacity offers the highest promise for answering many outstanding who, what, where, when, why, and with whom questions such as: Which microorganisms are linked to which soil habitats?

TL;DR: The Brazilian Microbiome Project (BMP) aims to assemble a Brazilian Metagenomic Consortium/Database, the first attempt to collect and collate information about Brazilian microbial genetic and functional diversity in a systematic and holistic manner.

TL;DR: This study studied the fungal community dynamics in a well-established salt marsh chronosequence that spans over a century of ecosystem development, providing high-resolution assessments of community composition, diversity and ecophysiological shifts that yielded patterns of ecological succession through soil formation.

TL;DR: The results revealed clear signatures of gene losses in these genomes, such as those associated with de novo biosynthesis of essential amino acids, nucleotides, fatty acids and cofactors, highlighting the importance of genome reconstruction for studying metabolic interdependencies between unculturable Saccharimonadia representatives.
