Hey all - I’ve notice a lot of people asking “how do i do X” wrt metagenomics or microbiome profiling. Or similarly- “Whats the best database / method / approach / etc?” for metagenomics. The reality is that it depends... on your specific research question, and on the underlying database you want / need to use. Etc.

So - I just wanted to share here something I’ve been curating for the last few years. I have been collecting papers on various pipelines for metagenomics analysis - species/strain ID, functional characterisation, etc. and the number is quickly approaching 100+ (i expect it will be by the end of the month)

If I’ve missed a paper - please let me know. The main focus here is on methods papers, not primary (wet lab) research papers - there would be far more...

I’ve also created a Zotero group to track these so I’ll be updating it as well (link is in the post) - which may make it easier to use these citations in your own research / manuscripts / etc. (if you use Zotero)

Hope someone finds this useful.

Thanks - j
