This document specifies general requirements and guidance for metagenomics-dedicated sample preparation, and generating and analysing metagenomics sequence data obtained from massive parallel sequencing platforms. Thespecified metagenomics process includes the following stages:
u000ba) sampling strategy and process, including type, storage, transportation, extraction, quality;
u000bb) nucleic acid library preparation
u000bc) design and review process including sequencing strategy and assessment;
u000bd) database construction;
u000be) bioinformaticsanalysis and report
u000bf) validation and verification for bioinformatics pipeline, and database
u000bThis document applies to laboratories and research organizations.
