Genome and other nucleotide sequencing with genomics (bioinformatics) as environment monitoring technology
by Lara Smithe
Genomics can be used as the monitoring tool for environmental changes such as climate, polution, agriculture, and urbanization.
Metagenomics can be used to track the changes of large scale species diversity variation. Bioinformatics databases need to be set up to store such data.
