The MG4U project was featured in the May 2013 edition of the International Innovation publication. This article included a one page interview with MG4U coordinator Bernard Kloareg as well as a two page case study on how the MG4U project has played a large role in enabling Marine Genomics.
The article can be downloaded here and you can view the full publication here.
International Innovation is the leading global dissemination resource for the wider scientific, technology and research communities, dedicated to disseminating the latest science, research and technological innovations on a global level.
