ABSTRACT
Marine environments enthrall human beings due to its incredible species diversity. Species thrives in marine ecosystems are unique in nature and complex in association due to its extreme physicochemical characters. Nanotechnology, a technology with billionth of a meter, is the convergence of several scientic divisions. Let us now ponder about merging of marine science into nanotechnology, the marine nanotechnology. Marine environments exhibit remarkable biomimetic nanostructures in its cell wall, shells, pearls, and skeletons that motivated researchers of the world. As an emerging science in its infancy, marine nanotechnology promises the nanoscale manufacture of materials using marine organisms or inuenced from marine environment. Integration of marine nanotechnology with molecular biology, particularly omics, a buzzword of the modern biologists, would be an amazing prospect that is believed to reach the hitherto unreachable and unimagined stages in future decades. This review summarizes the inuence of marine organisms on nanoscience and its future prospects through integration with omics.
