What Is NOAA Omics?
Omics - the study of DNA, RNA, proteins, & metabolites - delivers transformational insights that advance ecosystem understanding, strengthen environmental monitoring, and enable sustainable fisheries management. Next-Generation biotechnologies expand the scale, speed, and precision of biological data. NOAA Omics harnesses the power of this advanced technology to accelerate high-impact science, enhance decision-making, and improve operational efficiency. NOAA Omics scientists drive innovation and integration of omics - safeguarding marine resources, detecting threats, and reinforcing the United State’s leadership in ocean science and technology.
