Metagenomic approaches are now commonly used in microbial ecology to study microbial communities in more detail, including many strains that cannot be cultivated in the laboratory. Bioinformatic analyses make it possible to mine huge metagenomic datasets and discover general patterns that govern microbial ecosystems. However, the findings of typical metagenomic and bioinformatic analyses still do not completely describe the ecology and evolution of microbes in their environments. Most analyses still depend on straightforward sequence similarity searches against reference databases. We herein review the current state of metagenomics and bioinformatics in microbial ecology and discuss future directions for the field. New techniques will allow us to go beyond routine analyses and broaden our knowledge of microbial ecosystems. We need to enrich reference databases, promote platforms that enable meta- or comprehensive analyses of diverse metagenomic datasets, devise methods that utilize long-read sequence information, and develop more powerful bioinformatic methods to analyze data from diverse perspectives.

This paper aims to elucidate some problems concerning discrimination and equality in Indian Buddhism from the standpoint of Buddhist karmic concepts. In understanding a religion, it is very important to clarify how the religion looks at human beings. We could easily surmise the idea of equality of human beings in Christianity, because they are thought to be equally created by God. Or we could guess the equality in Christianity from another aspect: human beings all share the original sin which was fi rst committed by Adam and Eve. Then what stance does Buddhism take concerning this problem? How has the view of humanity in Buddhism been infl uenced by karmic ideas (especially bad karma accumulated in one's past lives) corresponding to sin in Christianity? I will make clear the problem in Indian Buddhism and then consider the direction which Buddhism should take in the future.
