T state of the global oceans is rapidly deteriorating, with dire consequences for marine species (Jackson et al. 2001). Historically,most conservation efforts have focused on terrestrial systems, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that conservation efforts are urgently required for the oceans as well (Myers et al. 1997, Casey and Myers 1998). Recently, significant attention has been given...

Genomics and proteomics of microorganisms are revolutionizing our understanding of marine microbial ecology. In this essay we address this by discussing (1) what microbial genome resources are available for marine ecologists, (2) how single-organism genomics and proteomics have revealed new microbial functions in the marine ecosystem, and (3) how the integration of metagenomics, metaproteomics ...
