Molecular biology refers to biological macromolecules such as 
DNA or proteins and their manipulation, often using other macromolecules, 
and does not mean "chemistry applied to biology".

So I guess that "molecular genomics" means that it consists in 
using the techniques of "molecular biology" for "genomics". It would be a 
buzzword which replaces "molecular genetics", but I have to say that I 
never understood the nuance between "molecular biology" and "molecular 
genetics" anyway.
