metagenome

A detailed understanding of human biology will require not only knowledge of the human genome but also of the human metagenome, defined here as the ensemble of the genomes of human-associated microorganisms.

In silico simulations of metagenome sequencing are cheap, quick, and easy, The type of in vitro simulation presented here is comparatively expensive, difficult, time-consuming, but captures bias in the metagenomic sampling procedure more faithfully than in silico simulations.
