The KAUST Global Ocean Genome workshop provides an opportunity for scientists and students to discuss progress in the assessment of the Global Ocean Genome. The main goal of this conference is to bring together internationally recognized scientists who will introduce their research and students who will discuss the progress in the assessment of the Global Ocean Genome, including:
- Updating the current inventory of genes in the microbial communities of the Global Ocean and assessing the progress made towards providing an adequate representation of microbial communities and environments in the Global Ocean
- Exploring the functional capacities of the global ocean microbiome as represented by the Global Ocean Genome
- Examining the global distribution and sequence variability of key functional genes
- Developing new analytical approaches to mine the Global Ocean Genome for genes of industrial interest
