Springer - Introduction to Marine Genomics (Advances in Marine Genomics)

Marine biology has long been a foundation for biological research, driving many major scientific breakthroughs. While terrestrial model organisms dominated the field for a period, the landscape is shifting. This change is driven by rapid developments in genomic methodologies that are transforming how we understand ocean life. Introduction to Marine Genomics, part of the Advances in Marine Genomics series, explores this new era of research. The book examines how modern genomic tools accelerate study across a wide range of marine biology disciplines. Readers can explore advancements spanning from biodiversity studies to developmental biology. This text serves as a resource for understanding how the integration of genomics is revitalizing marine science. As research capabilities grow, this volume provides the necessary context for the current state of the field and the technological shifts that allow for deeper exploration of marine ecosystems.
