Recovery of novel prokaryotic genomes associated with aquatic environments, based on assembly and binning of publicly available sequence data.
Using next generation sequencing, large amounts of metagenomic data have been generated from aquatic environments. However, a huge amount of the aquatic prokaryotic repertoire is still undefined. Here we identified 1504 uncultured prokaryotic aquatic species by reconstructing metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from publicly available sequence data.
