Activities
The Ocean Genome Atlas Project (OGAP) was formed to genomically map the full biodiversity of the world’s oceans at single-cell-resolution. We deploy state-of-the-art mobile labs throughout the world’s oceans, sample planktonic and benthic organisms, observe, document and perform a full range of genomic analysis (including single-cell transcriptome and 3D genomic sequencing, as well as metabolomics and proteomics microanalyses), and finally employ artificial intelligence to process the resulting datasets. The results will help predict the dynamics of ocean ecosystems and provide critical insights about planetary health, predictive, evolutionary and fundamental biology, as well as biomedicines of the future. Ultimately, OGAP’s work will form the backbone of a dynamic 4D (space and time) Ocean Genome Atlas at single-cell resolution.
