| ► Description: |
Marine
biology has always played an important role
in biological research, being at the origin
of many key advances. To a certain extent,
the influence of marine biology on the
biological sciences was overshadowed over a
period of several years by the remarkable
advances that were made using powerful model
organisms from terrestrial environments.
This situation is now changing again,
however, due primarily to spectacular
developments in genomic methodologies that
have significantly accelerated research in a
broad spectrum of marine biology disciplines
ranging from biodiversity to developmental
biology to biotechnology. The data generated
by marine genomics projects have had an
impact on questions as diverse as
understanding planetary geochemical cycles,
the impact of climate change on marine fauna
and flora, the functioning of marine
ecosystems, the discovery of new organisms
and novel biomolecules, and investigation of
the evolution of animal developmental
complexity. |
