Metagenomics Sequencing

Metagenomics sequencing is a powerful technique that analyzes the collective genomic content of entire microbial communities directly from environmental samples, enabling the study of microbial diversity, gene functions, and interactions without the need for culturing, and finds applications in environmental science, medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.
