C-MORE GOALS:TO UNDERSTAND

• Mechanisms that drive and sustain diversity &function in oceanic microbes (systems biology)

• Mechanisms that link organisms together inrobust networks (ecosystems biology)

THE GRAND CHALLENGE

• Establish the “parts list” or blueprint: genomicsand phylogenetic, isolate diversity

• Decode the assembly manual: gene regulation,physiology and metabolism

• Integrate across disciplines: ecogenomics,ecophysiology and systems ecology

C-MORE RESEARCH
