Metatranscriptomics is when transcriptomics is applied to entire microbial communities. This allows exploring transcripts of microbes that do not have to have been grown in labs. With metagenomics, multiple microbial species can be compared. 

Metatranscriptomics

Transcriptomics is a field that studies all the mRNA transcripts transcribed by cells.

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

Genomics is the studying and comparing of entire genomes including their nucleotide sequence and all its genes.

Proteomics studies all proteins in a cell which is called the proteome. The proteomics can be extended to observing different tissues that produce more proteins than others. This is information you cannot get from just genomic studies.
