About the group
The applied bioinformatics group was founded in 2007 at the University of Queensland to lead a Bioinformatics node for the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics and establish independent research in applied bioinformatics. Since this time, the group has attracted more than 6.5 M AU$ in competitive funds and is a leading bioinformatics group in Australia. Our current research activities include the second generation sequencing of complex plant genomes and bacterial metagenomic populations, genome annotation, diversity analysis and data visualisation.
The group receives funding from the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics, the University of Queensland, the Australian Research Council, the Grains Research and Development Corporation and several industry partners to undertake applied bioinformatics research in genetics and genomics.
The group is led by Professor David Edwards and consists of 10 full time researchers with diverse backgrounds. We offer training in applied bioinformatics at all levels and publish widely in the fields of genomics, genetics and bioinformatics. Please contact David Edwards for further information.
We are based at the University of Queensland's St Lucia campus in Brisbane, Australia.
