摘要

Microorganisms are essential to all life on Earth through critical roles in key biological processes and diverse interactions with other organisms that shape ecosystems, drive biogeochemical cycles and influence both human health and environmental health. High-throughput sequencing from environmental samples has revolutionized the understanding of microbial diversity and functions. With vast amounts of genomes now available across Earth’s biomes, these data provide a blueprint of microbial life that can be harnessed for a more holistic understanding of microbiome structure and function across the various ecosystems on Earth. Here we review the application of genome-centric approaches, including recent advances in single-cell sequencing and functional profiling, to survey microbial and viral diversity. We highlight some of the most impactful evolutionary and functional discoveries, explore the spatial diversity and temporal dynamics of microorganisms across diverse environments, and discuss genome-enabled insights into host-associated microorganisms.
