Genomics Aotearoa is a collaborative research platform for genomics and bioinformatics

Scientists are investigating microbial genomes as a way to better understand our unique New Zealand environment and predict how future environmental change may affect species diversity and ecosystem productivity.

Data from the newly developed kākāpō genome is expected to improve kākāpō survival in New Zealand, and help in the conservation of other endangered species.

Ngoni Faya will be working with our partners across New Zealand to building capability in bioinformatics

Genomic prediction is a way to identify elite breeding animals, particularly when selecting hard-to-measure traits, such as meat quality.
