Application of Bioinformatics in Microbial Ecology

Abstract:

The major goal of microbial ecology is to study the structure and function of complex microbial communities. Various bioinformatics software were employed to handle a large number of genomic information emerged by using high throughput sequencing. This paper summarizes application of bioinformatics in microbial ecology and their corresponding software used in α, β-diversity studies; and finally expounds the important roles in establishment of four synthesis databases.
