Genomics and the Global Bioeconomy Translational and Applied Genomics Series
Coordonnateurs : Lopez-Correa Catalina, Suarez-Gonzalez Adriana
Genomics and the Global Bioeconomy,a new volume in the Translational and Applied Genomics series, empowers researchers, administrators, and sustainability leaders to apply genomics and novel omics technologies to advance the global bioeconomy and sustainability. Here, more than 15 international experts illustrate?with concrete examples across various industries and areas of global need?how genomics is addressing some of the most pressing global challenges of our time. Chapters offer an in-depth, case-based treatment of various topics, from genomics technologies supporting sustainability development goals to novel synthetic biology advancements improving biofuel production, conservation, sustainable food production, bioremediation, and genomic monitoring.
Editors Catalina Lopez-Correa and Adrian Suarez-Gonzalez skillfully bring clarity to this diverse and increasingly impactful research, uniting various perspectives to inspire fresh innovation in driving the global bioeconomy.
Part I: Synthetic biology as a pillar of the bioeconomy 1. Cellular agriculture and the sustainable development goals 2. Engineering microbial biofactories for a sustainable future 3. Computational approaches for smart cell creation in the bioeconomy era 4. Young innovators and the bioeconomy
Part II: Genomic monitoring is revolutionizing our understanding of biodiversity and ecological services 5. Environmental DNA: Revolutionizing ecological assessments with genomics 6. Informing marine shipping insurance premiums in the Arctic using marine microbial genomics 7. Genomic biosurveillance to protect the world’s forest resources 8. Metagenomics: A resilience approach to climate change and conservation of the African Glacier biodiversity
Part III: Genomics as a driver of the bioeconomy in agriculture 9. The impact of biotechnology and genomics on an ancient crop: Cannabis sativa 10. Multiomics techniques for plant secondary metabolism engineering: Pathways to shape the bioeconomy
Part IV: Why regulation and policy matter to advance the bioeconomy 11. Regulatory frameworks applicable to food products of genome editing and synthetic biology in the United States, Canada, and the European Union 12. Crop biotech: Creating the crops to face the future 13. Bioeconomy policy: Beyond genomics R&D
Dr. Adriana Suarez-Gonzalez MSc PhD: Science and Technology Advisor at 10x Genomics. For her Ph.D., Adriana combined phenotypic data and cutting-edge genomics to identify genetic markers associated with traits of ecological and economic interest. Her work has great potential for forest management in the face of climate change and provides an example on how genomics provides opportunities to meet the challenges of the Global Bioeconomy. At 10x Genomics, she helps researchers advance our understanding of biological processes with new technologies for single cell and spatial genomics analyses.
