Question 2

What is Metatranscriptomics?

Answer 2

Metatranscriptomics is the science that studies gene expression of microbes within natural environments, i.e., the metatranscriptome. It also allows to obtain whole gene expression profiling of complex microbial communities.

Question 3

What is proteomics?

Answer 3
