Sea of opportunities: marine genomics in an era of global environmental change

BMC Genomics. 2023 May 26;24(1):286. doi: 10.1186/s12864-023-09392-4.

Abstract

Overexploitation of natural resources and pollution of seas, acidification of the ocean, and rising temperatures all contribute to the destruction of marine habitats and, in 2015, the protection of the ocean became one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 14: Life Below Water). This collection aims to highlight the molecular genetic changes currently happening in marine organisms.
