Environmental Genomics

Environmental genomics is a field of study that focuses on how genes and genomes of organisms interact with their environment. Scientists use this research to understand how living organisms adapt to different environmental conditions, such as pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction. By studying the genetic makeup of organisms in their natural environment, researchers can gain insights into how they evolve, survive, and respond to environmental stressors. This information is crucial for conservation efforts, understanding biodiversity, and predicting how species may respond to future environmental changes.
