The genomics studies on marine organisms have advanced a lot in the last decades. There are many active groups working on genomics of the marine species in Japan. The target of the study is diverse including octopus, squid, otter clam, pearl oyster, dinoflagellate, and bacterium. At this stage, it would be beneficial to exchange achievements of each group and see the big picture of the genomic evolution of marine species. For this aim, we are going to have the following scientific meeting at Ochanomizu University, Japan. The meeting welcomes students and researchers interested in this field. We would like to have hot discussion during the meeting.
