Abstract
Functional microbial genomics has revolutionized the life sciences. Next-generation sequencing technologies in combination with other omics-based approaches and sophisticated bioinformatic tools already allow comprehensive analyses of structure, functions, dynamics, activity, and interactions of individual microbes and entire microbial communities, and has therefore fostered important advances in microbiology and biotechnology.
