OGAP CO-founders Dr. Leonid Moroz and Peter Molnar will present novel findings using OGAP’s 4D+ genomic methods and outline the application and implications of this technology for ocean science, planetary health, evolutionary and fundamental biology as well as biomedicines of the future. Please join us for a presentation & discussion of:
OGAP's upcoming May voyage to Greenland on the SV ArcticEarth to:
• investigate and understand Greenland as a planetary tipping point • use 4D+ genomics to document rare and lightly studied planktonic organisms and their capacity to adapt to rapidly changing conditions in the Arctic • trace the evolutionary history of the jump to complex life forms 600 mya during rapid environmental change • film onboard research to better communicate the enormous potential of accelerating genomic and computational tools in understanding Earth's biosphere
The Ocean Genome Atlas Project (OGAP) aims to collect, classify, sequence and map the genomic information of organisms representing at least 80% of the extant marine species worldwide. Deploying a fleet of advanced but cost-effective research vessels to transect our oceans over the coming decades, OGAP will allow access to all of our Blue Planet to hundreds of scientists. Light refreshments will be provided including wine from Obsidian Wine Co.
