The Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) Expedition was a groundbreaking scientific journey led by J. Craig Venter, which circumnavigated the globe to explore the genetic diversity of marine microbes. Using advanced DNA sequencing techniques, the expedition uncovered millions of new genes, vastly expanding our understanding of ocean life and its critical role in Earth's ecosystems. It demonstrated the power of metagenomics to reveal the hidden biological world within our oceans.
