UMaine researchers help forge planktonic frontier
Description: During expeditions from 2009 to 2013 aboard Tara, researchers collected 35,000 samples from the world's oceans. Data generated from the samples are providing unprecedented resources - including a catalog of several million new genes - expected to transform how oceans are studied and establish a global-scale baseline to evaluate the impact of climate changes on oceanic ecosystems.
