Workshop Global Ocean Systems Ecology and Evolution (GOSEE) Chile 2025
“An eco-systems biology view of ocean genomics”
March 24-28, 2025
INACH, Punta Arenas
The goal of this meeting is to discuss the implementation of the latest systems biology and modeling concepts for the processing of marine metagenomics samples, in particular those from the ocean expeditions associated with the TARA Ocean Foundation (Mission Microbiome – CEODOS & AtlantEco). An overarching goal is to form scientific task forces around different areas of analysis to be developed over the coming months/years. These include analysis around viruses, prokaryotes, and biogeochemical processes for ecosystem understanding.
