1MAGs
1MAGs refers to metagenome-assembled genomes recovered from a single metagenomic dataset. The term is used to distinguish genomes derived from one sample and processed independently from those obtained by co-assembly and cross-sample binning. 1MAGs can represent the genetic material of microorganisms present in a specific environment or host-associated niche and are commonly used to explore microbial diversity and metabolic potential without requiring cultivation.
The typical workflow begins with sequencing of an environmental or host-derived sample, followed by quality control
Quality and standards in 1MAG work often reference the broader framework for MAGs, including minimum information
Applications of 1MAGs include expanding catalogs of microbial diversity, reconstructing metabolic pathways from uncultured organisms, and
