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.
