Title
Marine Molecular Biology An Emerging Field of Biological Sciences
Subject
Marine biology
Description
An appreciation of the potential applications of molecular biology is of growing
importance in many areas of life sciences, including marine biology. During the past two decades, the development of sophisticated molecular technologies and instruments for biomedical research has resulted in significant advances in the biological sciences.
However, the value of molecular techniques for addressing problems in marine biology
has only recently begun to be cherished. It has been proved that the exploitation of
molecular biological techniques will allow difficult research questions about marine
organisms and ocean processes to be addressed. Marine molecular biology is a
discipline, which strives to define and solve the problems regarding the sustainable
exploration of marine life for human health and welfare, through the cooperation
between scientists working in marine biology, molecular biology, microbiology and chemistry disciplines. Several success stories of the applications of molecular
techniques in the field of marine biology are guiding further research in this area. In this
review different molecular techniques are discussed, which have application in marine
microbiology, marine invertebrate biology, marine ecology, marine natural products,
material sciences, fisheries, conservation & bio-invasion etc. In summary, if marine
biologists and molecular biologists continue to work towards strong partnership during
the next decade and recognize intellectual and technological advantages and benefits of such partnership, an exciting new frontier of marine molecular biology will emerge in
future.
