Scientists at UC San Diego are exploring seaweed genome diversity—something that has never been done before. Since 2019, researchers in the Moore Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have been working with the Joint Genome Institute to unravel the complex chemistry of seaweeds. They want to find out how certain seaweeds construct molecules that hold promise for fields like manufacturing and medicine. Their goal is to sequence the genomes of 10 different types of “chemically interesting” red seaweeds found in San Diego. #Seaweeds #MarineBiology #GenomeSequencing
