The International Workshop on Geo-Omics of Archaea (IWGOA)
Oct 25-27, 2019
Shenzhen, China
The Department of Ocean Science and Engineering , Southern University of Science and Technology
The Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Marine Archaea Geo-Omics, Southern University of Science and Technology
The South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences
National Natural Sience Foundation of China Hydrosphere Microbes Program
(include but may not be limited to):
1. Archaea in global geochemical cycles and climate changes
2. Archaea in consortia with other organisms for ecosystem balance
3. Archaea in formation and degradation of methane hydrates
4. Archaea in life and geological evolution
5. Archaea and viruses
6. Archaea in human health and industrial applications
After the IWGOA, 21 papers were published as the Research Topic “Proceedings of the International Workshop on Geo-Omics of Archaea” in Frontiers in Microbiology – Section Biology of Archaea. The 21 manuscripts herein span different aspects of archaeal biology in both extreme and “non-extreme” environments in both marine and terrestrial settings and use a variety of approaches—community ecology, environmental lipidomics and genomics, organismal biology, and nucleic acid biochemistry—embodying diverse research thrusts that makes archaeal biology so exciting. At the same time, the manuscripts include over 100 authors from Asia, North America, and Europe, realizing our goal to engage a global audience in the biology of archaea.
