Genome graph methods for improved variant detection across organisms are a step change in bioinformatics practice.

Genomics Aotearoa is delighted to invite you to the first seminar in the Asia-Pacific Genetics Seminar series.

What makes the fruit of the bilberry bush such a vibrant colour?

Invasive species threaten native biota, put fragile ecosystems at risk and have the potential for large-scale impact on primary industries. 

The risk of biological invasions threatening native biota and ecosystems and that negatively affect agriculture and human well-being has increased in the past few decades, thanks to human activities and to rapid climate change. 

Genetic-based tools are providing PF2050 with potential to explore alternative control methods for the most challenging species for New Zealand to eradicate – the rat.

Globally there is a growing use of high-throughput sequencing approaches in cancer research, which is mainly due to the decrease in the cost of sequencing. 

Our understanding of the Aotearoa New Zealand environment increasingly depends on bioinformatic tools and skills.

Annabel Whibley is hoping the genomics work she has been doing in understanding traits that help species adapt to change will ultimately inform conservation of endangered species.

Ben Curran’s role in Genomics Aotearoa is at the juncture of research and clinical genomics. He is a research fellow working on the Rakeiora project, which is funded by MBIE through Genomics Aotearoa.

Natalie Forsdick dreams of one day seeing kakaruia/Chatham Island black robins in the wild.
