GOMC：The Global Ocean Microbiome Catalogue

The Global Ocean Microbiome Catalogue (GOMC), a database built in this study, has been stored in the National Gene Bank's Life Big Data platform. Through the analysis and in-depth mining of the currently published Marine microbial metagenomic data, we not only built the most complete Marine microbial gene database so far, but also found a large number of gene resources with application potential, providing a new idea for the development of new gene editing tools, antimicrobial peptides, PET plastic degrading enzymes, etc. It will greatly promote the application and development of related industries.
