CRISPR came from yogurt bacteria. GLP-1s came from Gila monster venom. Taq polymerase came from hot spring bacteria. As much as we like to think that progress in biotech is driven by human design, our biggest breakthroughs over the years have all originated from nature.
The ocean is one of the last great frontiers of biology. More than 90% of all marine life (an estimated 2M species) have not been discovered. Also, only ~10% of the seafloor has been mapped at 100m resolution, "as compared to 100% of...Mars and Venus." We should sequence
