Metagenomics: Perspectives, Methods, and Applications, 2nd Edition, presents structured analytical methods and experimental protocols for evaluating microbial communities. Edited by Dr. Muniyandi Nagarajan of the Central University of Kerala, the text provides biomedical researchers, molecular biologists, and life sciences students with practical guidance on sequencing pipelines and computational software.

The volume connects foundational bioinformatics, including 16S rRNA taxonomic profiling, statistical diversity scaling, and machine learning, with clinical applications. Coverage spans human gut microbiome alterations in metabolic syndromes and gastrointestinal disorders, alongside oral health management focused on periodontitis, prebiotics, and postbiotics.

This updated second edition incorporates newly added topics such as clinical diagnosis, metagenomic epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance surveillance, and plant-microbe interactions. The work offers a practical reference for public health scientists, human geneticists, and gastroenterologists examining host-microbe relationships across diverse biological environments.
