How can we use targeted metagenomics for drug discover from any marine source?

I am aiming on to start a targeted metagenomics work from marine source. Pls clear me in this regard.

In short, "targeted metagenomics" can be possible by integrating a technique called stable-isotope probing with metagenomics. The context in which this question has been asked (marine fauna) make me think that you are planing to target some metabolic functions of the microbiota associated to that fauna. Anyway, the best reference I have for this is:

Coyotzi, Sara, et al. "Targeted metagenomics of active microbial populations with stable-isotope probing." Current opinion in biotechnology 41 (2016): 1-8.

I hope that helps. Best regards.

Would fecal samples stored at -20C for over a year impact metagenomic analysis?

Dear All, I have access to some rodent fecal samples that have been stored at -20C instead of -80C. Anyone have experience with the impact of stowage condition on comparative metagenomic analysis...
