Valuable new compounds and enzymes with bio-engineering potential are often discovered from natural products. By uncovering the chemical diversity of our collections, we will contribute to the exploration of the biodiscovery potential of little-known organisms.
This project will optimise eDNA sampling from bee hives and create a early detection surveillance system for weeds and pathogens.
With the rapid decline in earth’s biodiversity, there is an urgent need to closely monitor the distribution of species and […]
dartR is an open source platform that provides user‐friendly functions that enables analysis of large genomics datasets.
We are working with partners to create a National Biodiversity DNA Library.
We will be refining the bioinformatic and molecular aspects of miniaturised target capture.
This project will develop a platform to predict algae species most likely to yield bioproducts.
Research to develop technology to collect airborne eDNA and RNA.
Environmental scientists are always looking for safer, cheaper, faster and more efficient ways of e-DNA sampling to study Australia’s biodiversity. […]
Developing biomarkers to identify significant life history traits and creating cost-effective assays for their use in managing fisheries and wildlife.
This work will aim to identify a complete list of microorganisms in soil microbiome communities.
This research will make location and/or environment specific evaluations of ecosystem health.
This research will generate cost-efficient, large-scale DNA Sequence libraries from vouchered reference collections.
The project will provide an exciting opportunity to examine variation in DNA methylation at a population level and will provide insight into the usefulness of this biomarker in provenance applications.
In this project, we will be collecting whole cells shed by animals naturally into the water to develop an estimate of animal abundance.
