Research

The applied bioinformatics research group works in several areas associated with second generation sequencing and assembly, genetic and genomic variation analysis and the discovery and application of molecular genetic markers. We work with a range of species, mostly in collaboration with a broad range of national and international research groups.

Current projects include:

Genome sequencing

• Wheat genome sequencing

• Brassica genome sequencing

TAGdb

SNP discovery

SSR discovery

Genetic map visualisation

Genome annotation and visualisation

• Gene and genome annotation

Species of interest include:

Wheat

Barley

Brassica

Metagenomics
