Searching metagenomic datasets for a specific species

Searching metagenomic datasets for a specific species

1

Hi,

There are a vast number of metagenomic datasets available from microbiomes in different environments, such as marine, terrestrial, human, etc. These datasets seem to capture a massive amount of data relating to community composition. As such, I am wondering if there is a way to systematically search metagenomic datasets for a specific species.

In other words, given a species X, is there a method to identify all such metagenomes Y that contain X?

Thank you!
