Why blue genome

The ocean holds 80% of Earth's biodiversity.
Its data is only just surfacing.

Marine bioinformatics is one of the fastest-growing frontiers in life sciences — from monitoring coral collapse to discovering the next generation of antibiotics in the deep sea. Blue Genome Hub trains the scientists who will read those signals.

  • Real ocean datasets
    Tara Oceans, GEOTRACES, MPA monitoring feeds.
  • Mentored cohorts
    Small groups, live sessions, portfolio outputs.
  • Cloud-native pipelines
    Nextflow, Snakemake, reproducible science.
  • Species → sequence
    Wet-to-dry lab thinking, not just code.
