metagenomics

Examples

• All

• Through this use of metagenomics, also known as environmental or community genomics, "we're hoping to find entirely new classes of genes that have functions that wouldn't be recognized based just on sequence," says Handelsman.

• Metagenomics is the study of the genomic features of entire bacterial communities (Handelsman 2004).

• So metagenomics is a study of bacteria or whatever in an environment.

• The field continues to mature and will most likely make substantial contributions in the future with additional efforts that include metagenomics and genomics.

  Academic text (2008)

• During the past few years, intensive searches for new viruses, using conventional virologic methods and metagenomics, have resulted in the discovery of several new viruses.

• Thus, metagenomics, as well as standard genomics of newly cultured environmental microbes, will be instrumental in understanding the genetic capabilities of microbes.

  Academic text (2008)

• Metagenomics is revolutionizing the study of microbial ecology, from identifying new microbial species, strains, and genes to describing microbial communities associated with different parts of the human body.

  Academic text (2010)

• Scientists employ metagenomics to analyze the diversity of microbial life found in samples taken from the ocean.

• The research team conducted metagenomics to uncover the variety of bacteria present in the soil of the rainforest.

• By utilizing metagenomics, researchers were able to study genetic material extracted from environmental sources to improve our understanding of ecosystem diversity.
