Answer: metagenomics

Step-by-step explanation:

Metagenomics is the study of the collective genome of the microorganisms obtain from the environment. The study can provide details of the microbial diversity and ecology for a particular environment. It allows the identification of the specific microbial species from the mixture of genomic samples. The metagenomics is useful in solving the problems related to other fields such as medicine, agriculture, engineering and ecology.
