Explore the genomes and proteomes of marine life.
Genomics and Proteomics in Marine Organisms opens up the molecular biology of one of the planet’s least-explored and most biodiverse domains. You learn how genomic and proteomic methods are applied to marine species — from sequencing and assembly to functional annotation and protein analysis — and the unique challenges marine samples present. The course connects these tools to real questions in marine biology and blue biotechnology: adaptation to extreme environments, discovery of novel enzymes and bioactive compounds, and conservation. You finish able to reason about a marine omics study. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
