About the group
The applied bioinformatics group is funded by the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics and the University of Queensland to support applied bioinformatics research.
The ACPFG is working to improve the resistance of wheat and barley to hostile environmental conditions, using functional genomics technologies, focusing on stresses that impact agriculture in Australia, including drought, salinity. These abiotic stresses significantly reduce cereal crop yield and quality throughout the world and are becoming increasingly prevalent due to changes in land use and climate change. The applied bioinformatics group supports ACPFG research through training and delivery of bioinformatics solutions.
The ACPFG Bioinformatics Group is based at the Queensland Bioscience Precinct which is located on the University of Queensland's St Lucia campus in Brisbane, Australia. We are collocated and work closely with the Queensland Facility for Advanced Bioinformatics.
