Genomic resources
High-throughput screening of specimens will contribute to the exploration of the biodiscovery potential of little-known organisms. @Australian National Insect Collection CSIRO Canberra
We have three major areas of discovery underway, exploring and advancing our ability to maximise the use of environmental genomic resources.
These are:
- mobilising biological collections
- framework datasets
- and biodiversity discovery.
Mobilising biological collections
Examples of research projects working with genomic data from natural collections:
High throughput collection genomics of highly variable DNA samples
Accelerating bio-discovery: a collection genomics pipeline for high-throughput target enrichment
Exploring the Biodiscovery Potential of Natural History Collections
Framework datasets
Examples of our research working to build universal datasets.
Australian microbiome initiative
Biodiversity discovery
There is so much to learn about the hidden resources within our rich biodiversity, and we are working to uncover new resources.
