The different branches of genomics can be classified as:

Environmental databases do not include data on species occurrence.

Remote sensing is used to gather satellite imagery in environmental monitoring.

The microarray genetics includes genetic approaches, complementary to each other: forward and reverse.

Metatranscriptomics is a high-throughput, culture-independent method for quantifying the levels of expressed mRNA from complex microbial communities.

The catastrophic 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico led to the activation of natural microbial communities with oil-degrading capacity. To identify the key bacteria responsible for natural bioremediation, scientists used:

Metabolic engineering is a multidisciplinary branch of science that deals with the generation of desirable products through the manipulation of the metabolic characteristics of a host organism.

Environmental proteomics catalogues the proteins of ecosystem parts, even lacking the knowledge about the organisms producing those proteins.

The relatively fast dispersion and low concentration of aquatic eDNA make the traditional methods for microbial species assessment in aquatic samples simple.

From technical point of view, the metaproteomic approach provides great advantage compared to standard biochemical/molecular biology analyses.
