Monitoring the Health of Our World's Oceans
Illumina is supporting a project that combines genomics with citizen science to monitor ocean health in the South-West Pacific region. The Citizens of The Sea project, led by Xavier Pochon from the Cawthron Institute, equips seafaring vessels with environmental DNA (eDNA) sample collection kits. These samples are then analyzed by Sequench laboratory in New Zealand, creating powerful datasets to understand and improve ocean health.
This initiative demonstrates Illumina's commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable future. The project leverages Illumina's expertise in genomic sequencing to contribute to marine conservation efforts, showcasing the company's involvement in innovative environmental monitoring techniques.
Illumina sta supportando un progetto che combina genomica con scienza dei cittadini per monitorare la salute degli oceani nella regione del Pacifico sud-occidentale. Il progetto Cittadini del Mare, guidato da Xavier Pochon dell'Istituto Cawthron, fornisce imbarcazioni da pesca con kit per la raccolta di campioni di DNA ambientale (eDNA). Questi campioni vengono poi analizzati dal laboratorio Sequench in Nuova Zelanda, creando set di dati potenti per comprendere e migliorare la salute degli oceani.
Questa iniziativa dimostra l'impegno di Illumina nella gestione ambientale e per un futuro sostenibile. Il progetto sfrutta l'expertise di Illumina nel sequenziamento genomico per contribuire agli sforzi di conservazione marina, mostrando il coinvolgimento dell'azienda in tecniche innovative di monitoraggio ambientale.

Le projet Citoyens de la Mer, dirigé par Xavier Pochon de l'Institut Cawthron, équipe les navires de mer de kits de collecte d'échantillons d'ADN environnemental (eDNA). Ces échantillons sont ensuite analysés par le laboratoire Sequench en Nouvelle-Zélande, créant des ensembles de données puissants pour comprendre et améliorer la santé des océans.
Cette initiative démontre l'engagement d'Illumina envers la gestion environnementale et un avenir durable. Le projet s'appuie sur l'expertise d'Illumina dans le séquençage génomique pour contribuer aux efforts de conservation marine, mettant en avant l'implication de l'entreprise dans des techniques innovantes de surveillance environnementale.
Illumina unterstützt ein Projekt, das Genomik mit Bürgerscience verbindet, um die Gesundheit der Ozeane in der südwestlichen Pazifikregion zu überwachen. Das Projekt Bürger des Meeres, geleitet von Xavier Pochon vom Cawthron Institute, stattet Seefahrzeuge mit Probensätzen zur Sammlung von Umwelt-DNA (eDNA) aus. Diese Proben werden dann im Sequench-Labor in Neuseeland analysiert, was leistungsstarke Datensätze zur Verständnis und Verbesserung der Ozeangeadius produziert.
Diese Initiative demonstriert Illuminas Engagement für Umweltschutz und eine nachhaltige Zukunft. Das Projekt nutzt Illuminas Fachwissen in der genomischen Sequenzierung, um zu Bemühungen um den Meeresschutz beizutragen und zeigt das Engagement des Unternehmens in innovativen Techniken zur Umweltüberwachung.

What happens when you combine the power of genomics with the dedication of citizen scientists at scale? You create powerful datasets to understand and improve the health of our world's oceans.
That's exactly what Xavier Pochon from the Cawthron Institute and the Citizens of The Sea project aims to do - outfitting seafaring vessels across the South-West Pacific region with environmental DNA (eNDA) sample collection kits and pairing it with the sequencing expertise of Sequench laboratory in New Zealand.
