I found this "metagenomics" is quite attractive. I am thinking to study this field for what it can do to understand our environment and solve environmental problem. I feel bad that I didn't know this field until July 7, 2009.
Metagenomics and Our Microbial Planet by National Academics
Metagenomics (also Environmental Genomics, Ecogenomics or Community Genomics) is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. Traditional microbiology and microbial genome sequencing rely upon cultivated clonal cultures. This relatively new field of genetic research enables studies of organisms that are not easily cultured in a laboratory as well as studies of organisms in their natural environment.
