The Italian Network of Marine Omic Observatories uses advanced biomolecular technologies to collect monthly omics data at four LTER Marine Stations (Portofino Promontory, Meda-Senigallia, Gulf of Naples, and Gulf of Trieste). The network serves as a natural laboratory for scientific studies, environmental and biotechnological applications, including: frontier marine biological research, monitoring the effects of climate change and human activities, bioprospecting and marine biodiversity conservation.

A cosa serve
Produce and make accessible large volumes of data based on frontier technologies useful for the study, preservation and management of marine biodiversity, from microorganisms to megafauna.
Per chi è pensata
Institutions and governing bodies engaged in the management and protection of marine ecosystems, research centers and universities for scientific, environmental and biotechnological studies and applications, and citizens and disseminators interested in understanding and disseminating knowledge about biodiversity.
Funzionalità principali
High-resolution marine biodiversity
It explores marine life, from microorganisms to megafauna, and its ecological dynamics using high-resolution noninvasive methods based on state-of-the-art biomolecular technologies.
Interactive portal
Enables data visualization and analysis through intuitive and interactive exploration paths
Frontier scientific research
Allows the download of large volumes of sequencing data and related metadata for taxonomic, functional and evolutionary analyses of marine biodiversity.
Open-air laboratory
It represents a point of reference for scientific research, environmental monitoring, education and dissemination of biodiversity in the Italian seas.
