In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Meta-Genomics 2. Study of Meta-Genomics 3. Applications. Definition of Meta-Genomics: The meta-genomics refers to the collection of genes sequenced from the environmental samples. Due to advancement in molecular biology, meta-genomics is described as sequencing of genetic material from environment i.e. uncultured samples. Kevin Chen and Lior Pachter (U.S.A) defined meta-genomics [...]
