Meta genomic sampling is the direct genetic analysis of genomes contained with an environmental sample.
Explanation:
The statements that correctly describe the genomic sampling of the biosphere are;
As by carrying out meta genomic sampling we can be provided with the data of functional gene composition of microbial communities.
Sufficient amounts of high-quality nucleic acids must be obtained for subsequent library production and sequencing.
The DNA extracted should be representative of all cells present in the sample.
Two strategies can be employed for meta genomics samples: reference-based assembly (co-assembly) and de novo assembly.
De novo assembly typically requires larger computational resources.
The "clonal" assumptions built into many assemblers might lead to suppression of contig formation for certain heterogeneous taxa at specific parameter settings.
