A Mini Review on Metagenomics and its Implications in Ecological and Environmental Biotechnology
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Metagenomics is an applied science that deals with throughput analysis of Environmental Genomic isolates. Advances in genomic sequencing technologies such as parallel sequencing and sequence analysis methods have contributed most in foundation of this field. Metagenomics techniques have broad perspectives in field of Ecological Biotechnology. Its potential applications in in-situ restoration of ecosystems, designing strategies for bioremediation and in monitoring biodetereoration have come to the edge. In this review, we have reviewed current developments in metagenomics methodology with respect to applications in the field of Ecological Biotechnology and Environmental Biotechnologies.
