Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples, allowing researchers to analyze the collective microbial genomes present in a particular habitat without the need for isolating and culturing individual species. This field of research leverages advanced sequencing technologies to explore the diversity, functional potential, and interactions of microorganisms in complex communities.
