Summary Introduction

To review:

Examples of genetic insight that can be learned from metagenomics.

Introduction:

Metagenomics (also known as environmental genomics) includes both research field and research techniques, that include various related technologies and processes. Metagenomics studies generate very large amounts of sequence data. Therefore, metagenomics provides studies on the basis of genome sequencing of the microbes present in the environment (soil, air, and water).
