This is a Marine Genomics workshop under the auspices of the US- European Commission Taskforce on Biotechnology Research to occur in October, 2008 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco. The goal of this workshop is to bring together marine microbiologists, bioinformaticians and biotechnologists to explore future applications of (meta)genomics for basic and biotechnological research. These goals are consistent with the recommendations of the US-EC Taskforce on Biotechnology Research. Since the previous workshop was held in the United States, the location for this next workshop has been established by colleagues in Europe. The workshop will be examining two broad themes: investigating marine microbial adaptation, biochemistry, physiology and ecology through (meta)genomics and 2) accessing marine microbial (meta)genomics for industrial applications. These themes will be addressed in four sessions: 1) current issues being addressed in marine microbiology, 2) technological hurdles that still exist in marine microbial (metagenomics), 3) biocatalysis, drug discovery and industrial production based on information obtained from marine microbes and 4) laws, regulations, intellectual property rights and ethical considerations involved in marine microbial biotechnology. The outcome of the presentations and discussions will be a workshop report which documents the highlights of the major findings, abstracts of the presentations and the conclusions and recommendations from each session. It will also include challenges and potential areas for EC/US collaboration on the interface between marine (meta)genomics and marine biotechnology.

这是一个海洋基因组学研讨会的主持下，美国-欧洲委员会生物技术研究工作队发生在2008年10月在蒙特-卡罗，摩纳哥。该讲习班的目标是将海洋微生物学家、生物信息学家和生物技术专家聚集在一起，探讨（Meta）基因组学在基础研究和生物技术研究中的未来应用。这些目标与美国-欧盟生物技术研究工作组的建议是一致的。由于上一次讲习班是在美国举行的，因此，欧洲的同事们已经确定了下一次讲习班的地点。讲习班将审查两大主题：通过（Meta）基因组学研究海洋微生物的适应性、生物化学、生理学和生态学; 2）利用海洋微生物（Meta）基因组学进行工业应用。这些主题将在四个会议上讨论：1）海洋微生物学目前正在解决的问题，2）海洋微生物（宏基因组学）仍然存在的技术障碍，3）生物催化，药物发现和工业生产的基础上获得的信息从海洋微生物和4）法律，法规，知识产权和海洋微生物生物技术涉及的伦理考虑。专题介绍和讨论的结果将是一份研讨会报告，其中记录了主要结论的要点、专题介绍的摘要以及每次会议的结论和建议。它还将包括欧共体/美国在海洋（Meta）基因组学和海洋生物技术之间的接口合作的挑战和潜在领域。
