Average genome size estimation improves comparative metagenomics and sheds light on the functional ecology of the human microbiome

Average genome size is an important, yet often overlooked, property of microbial communities. We developed MicrobeCensus to rapidly and accurately estimate average genome size from shotgun metagenomic data and applied our tool to 1,352 human microbiome samples. We found that average genome size diff...
