    Abyss organisms and microorganisms survive and reproduce in extreme environments, forming unique gene types, special physiological mechanisms and metabolites, and are irreplaceable biological gene resources.
    , the world's first large data center for abyss biological and microbial samples was opened in Shanghai.
    data center was built by Shanghai Rainbow Fish Marine Technology Co., Ltd.
    In 2016, Rainbow Fish, in partnership with scientists at shanghai Ocean University's Abyss Life Sciences Center, conducted scientific examinations and samples of several abyss trenches in the South Pacific at depths from 6,500 meters to 10,900 meters, and obtained valuable sediments, seawater, and macro-biological samples and imagery from the 10,000-meter abyss.
    samples were tested, isolated, and identified, and eventually classified as rainbow fish abyss organisms, microbial strain sample libraries, and genome-wide data centers.
    abyss biological and microbial species have equally important scientific and economic value, and have broad application prospects in many industrial sectors, such as biomedicine, food and health care products, environmental protection industry, marine anti-corrosion, metallurgy and chemical industry.
    Zhang Rongqing, director of the Institute of Marine Biotechnology at Tsinghua University, said that the establishment of a large database of abyss organisms and microbial genomes, as well as the development of new drugs based on this large database, is a brand-new approach to drug research and development, which is likely to promote the discovery of a series of new drug targets, which will certainly be of epoch-making significance.
    It is understood that, relying on the independent development of the Abyss Science and Technology Mobile Laboratory, the future Rainbow Fish Company will carry out a systematic biological survey of the global abyss below 6500 meters, constantly enrich the contents of the sample bank, and gradually build into a unique global abyss biological, microbial resources and samples of large data platform, and will be in the abyss environment Research, exploration of abyss mineral resources, preservation of biological and microbial resources, construction of macro genome and proteomic information resources and large data centers, construction of natural active substances resources, marine biopharmaceus and functional food development have carried out a great deal of work, leading to a series of abyss life science research and abyss resources industrialization.
