Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advance of microbiome research, more and more previously unknown species have been realized by researchers worldwide, together with their genome sequences. These species and genomes have constituted a grand pool of new resources for a better understanding of the evolution and ecology patterns of microbes, including virus, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists. Faced with the paramount number of species and their accompanying omics data, new tools are also needed. In this Special Issue on “Method Development for Pan-Genome Research on Microbes”, we welcome works that focus on novel methods for mining evolution and ecology patterns of microbes from both pan-genome and metagenome.
