Discovery of new protein families and functions: new challenges in functional metagenomics for biotechnologies and microbial ecology.
The rapid expansion of new sequencing technologies has enabled large-scale functional exploration of numerous microbial ecosystems, by establishing catalogues of functional genes and by comparing their prevalence in various microbiota. However, sequence similarity does not necessarily reflect functi...
