Metagenomics presents a way of finding out the total genetic inventory of all microbes that are there in an environment, in a culture-independent way.
It has provided superb diversity in all types of microbial composition. It is further amplified by the fully coded functional diversity in genomes. A large part of it is made up of novel genes.
Metagenomics describes both scientific research as well as a set of ways that helps for analysis of a microbial community.
