Which Step is NOT Common for Metagenomic Processing and Analysis

Question

Which step is NOT common for metagenomic processing and analysis?
A) FISH
B) binning
C) functional annotation
D) contig assembly
E) scaffold assembly

Accepted Answer

FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) is a technique used to visualize specific DNA or RNA sequences in cells or tissues, and is not commonly used in metagenomic processing and analysis. Binning, functional annotation, contig assembly, and scaffold assembly are all common steps in metagenomic processing and analysis.
