Abstract

Owing to the ineffectiveness of traditional culture techniques for the vast majority of microbial species, culture-independent analyses utilizing next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics have become essential for gaining insight into microbial ecology and function. This mini-review focuses on two essential methods for obtaining genetic information from uncultured prokaryotes, metagenomics and single-cell genomics. We analyzed the registration status of uncultured prokaryotic genome data from major public databases and assessed the advantages and limitations of both the methods. Metagenomics generates a significant quantity of sequence data and multiple prokaryotic genomes using straightforward experimental procedures. However, in ecosystems with high microbial diversity, such as soil, most genes are presented as brief, disconnected contigs, and lack association of highly conserved genes and mobile genetic elements with individual species genomes. Although technically more challenging, single-cell genomics offers valuable insights into complex ecosystems by providing strain-resolved genomes, addressing issues in metagenomics. Recent technological advancements, such as long-read sequencing, machine learning algorithms, and in silico protein structure prediction, in combination with vast genomic data, have the potential to overcome the current technical challenges and facilitate a deeper understanding of uncultured microbial ecosystems and microbial dark matter genes and proteins. In light of this, it is imperative that continued innovation in both methods and technologies take place to create high-quality reference genome databases that will support future microbial research and industrial applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
