Multiomics in the central Arctic Ocean for benchmarking biodiversity change

PLoS Biol. 2022 Oct 17;20(10):e3001835. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001835. eCollection 2022 Oct.

Abstract

Multiomics approaches need to be applied in the central Arctic Ocean to benchmark biodiversity change and to identify novel species and their genes. As part of MOSAiC, EcoOmics will therefore be essential for conservation and sustainable bioprospecting in one of the least explored ecosystems on Earth.
