==About the group==
  
The applied bioinformatics group was founded in 2007 at the University of Queensland to lead a Bioinformatics group for the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics and establish a research group in applied bioinformatics. Since this time, the group has attracted more than 6.5 M AU$ in competitive funds and is establishing itself as 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.

About the group

The applied bioinformatics group was founded in 2007 at the University of Queensland and moved to the University of Western Australia in January 2015. Since this time, the group has established itself as a leading bioinformatics group in Australia. Our current research activities include the second generation sequencing of complex genomes and metagenomic populations, genome annotation, diversity analysis, trait association and data visualisation.

The group receives funding from the University of Western Australia, 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 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 Western Australia's Crawley campus in Perth, Australia.
