The document discusses the establishment of a community cyberinfrastructure aimed at enhancing marine microbial ecology metagenomics, led by Dr. Larry Smarr at UC San Diego. It highlights significant projects like the Moore Microbial Genome Sequencing Project, which focuses on sequencing marine microbes and advancing comparative metagenomics research. Additionally, it outlines the cyberinfrastructure's components, including partnerships, data services, and the integration of advanced computing capabilities to support large-scale genomic analysis.
