A genomics infosheet was produced by the Arctic Genomics team for participants of the Muskoxen and Genomics in the Community (MAGIC) workshop, 2024.

Microbes and Oil Spills

What are microbes and how can they contribute to the remediation of oil spills?

Find out the answers to these questions below, and learn more about an exciting genomics project called GENICE: Microbial Genomics for Oil Spill Preparedness in Canada's Arctic Marine Environment.

Kaaraq / Nerlernaq (Canada Goose)

A video with Emily Angulalik, Executive Director of Kitikmeot Heritage Society and Arctic Genomics partner:

The description of the flying formation of the Kaaraq is a metaphor. When we work together - across different cultures, languages, and knowledge systems - we are the geese, flying in formation together toward shared goals. The Elders speak of the benefit of working with southern scientists; they may take the lead in a collaborative project when their expertise moves us toward our goals. But when it comes to the guiding principles that are the foundation of working with animals and in the Inuit Nunangat environment, it is time for Inuit to lead at the front of the formation.
