When President Bill Clinton and Francis Collins, then the director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, celebrated the near completion of the human genome sequence at the White House in the summer of 2000, it is unlikely that they or anyone else could have predicted the blossoming of meta-omics in the following two decades and their applications in modern human microbiome and environmental microbiome research. This transformation was enabled by the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies and sophisticated computational biology tools and bioinformatics software packages. Today, environmental meta-omics has undoubtedly revolutionized our understanding of ocean ecosystems, providing the genetic blueprint of oceanic microscopic organisms. In this review, I discuss the importance of functional genomics in future marine microbiome research and advocate a position for a gene-centric, bottom-up approach in modern oceanography. I propose that a synthesis of multidimensional approaches is required for a better understanding of the true functionality of the marine microbiome.

Annual Review of Marine Science

自 2009 年起出版的《海洋科学年度回顾》提供了关于海洋科学领域的观点。该杂志从沿海和蓝水海洋学（生物、化学、地质和物理）的主要学科以及以海洋环境为统一主题的生态学、保护和技术发展学科的不同主题中汲取灵感。

The Annual Review of Marine Science, published since 2009, offers in-depth perspectives on the field of marine science. This journal draws inspiration from major disciplines of coastal and blue water oceanography, including biology, chemistry, geology, and physics, as well as various topics related to ecology, conservation, and technological developments centered around the marine environment.
