Buoys offer a consistent flow of information that is vital for studying the ocean&#8217;s influence on climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DNA_Sequencing_Robots\"><\/span><strong>DNA Sequencing Robots<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNA.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNA.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNA-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DNA-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit:&nbsp;Piyaset \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/spiral-blue-dna-double-helix-light-2430544819\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>DNA sequencing robots collect and analyze genetic material from water or sediment, helping to identify the presence of various marine species. By isolating DNA samples, these robots can reveal biodiversity levels and species distribution in different ocean zones. They are especially valuable for studying elusive or rare species without direct observation. DNA sequencing technology plays a vital role in conservation, identifying sensitive ecosystems that require protection. This innovative approach is expanding our understanding of oceanic biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article originally appeared in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/general\/12-underwater-vehicle-technologies-that-could-explore-the-oceans-depths\">MyCarMakesNoise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_from_MyCarMakesNoise\"><\/span>More from MyCarMakesNoise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>19 Sports Cars That Looked Great But Performed Poorly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pontiac-Fiero.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pontiac-Fiero.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pontiac-Fiero-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pontiac-Fiero-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Some sports cars capture attention with their stunning looks, but not all of them deliver when it comes to performance.
