Computer-aided approach for gene prediction based on metabolite genome-wide association studies in ecology and biotechnology

The next generation genetic prediction is based on metabolite genome-wide association studies (mGWAS). The mGWAS approach provides the relationship between genetic factors and metabolome. Currently, important ecological issues are climate change, pollution etc. All these problems impact the change of environment. While simple observation reveals only phenotype changes, changes in genotypes of organisms can be captured using mGWAS and further utilized in industrial ecology and biotechnology by using engineered organisms.
