OmicsLogic Metagenomics
Metagenomics is a relatively new field of research based on high-throughput sequencing (or Next Generation Sequencing) and it’s popularity signifies a growing appreciation for the composition of microbial communities (microbiomes) and the genetic information their genomes carry. Metagenomics allows us to study the microbiome in its natural environment and learn about the cooperative and often symbiotic relationships between prokaryotes, eukaryotes, viruses and archaea.
