Genome-based Identification for Improving Reference Databases
Misidentified or incompletely identified bacterial genome sequences appear frequently in public reference databases. These databases can be significantly improved by genome-based identification against an up-to-date, systematically curated
Pan-genome analysis
A pan-genome is a union of the protein-coding genes (=CDS) in a given set of genomes. Generally, building a pan-genome starts from a set of annotated

The genome sequence that is labeled as “Lachnospiraceae bacterium 5_1_63FAA” has been included in most microbiome taxonomic profiling software tools, and has therefore appeared in
Pan-genome orthologous group (POG)
Pan-genome orthologous group (POG) refers to “a group of orthologous genes (orthologs)” that are identified from multiple genomes. The below figure illustrates how POGs are
Species-level microbiome analysis using EzBioCloud 16S Database
Species-level microbiome analysis using EzBioCloud EzBioCloud 16S database is designed to be best performed for species-level identification even though there is a limitation due to
Check List for 16S-based Microbiome Analysis

Many genome sequences in public databases are used in metagenomic studies to understand the human microbiome. Unfortunately, many of the taxonomic identities of these genomes
Gene presence/absence analysis
Genes within a genome are never fixed, even for a very short period of time. That’s why we encounter new bacterial variants with novel antibiotic
