The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Physiology and genetics of barley grain germination in the malting and brewing industries. An international research team will provide new scientific information on barley grain germination. This detailed basic knowledge will be immediately applied in breeding programs that are aimed at improving malting and brewing quality in a commercial context. At the same time, the industry's carbon footprint will be significantly reduced.
Transcription factor – enhancer – promoter based regulatory networks. This project aims to develop new understanding on how multicellular organisms (including humans) develop, and how mutations in distant regions of the genome can affect human traits. The way the human genome is interpreted by the cellular machinery is still a mystery. We have a reference sequence and know where the majority of coding genes are, but we are far from understanding how the genome is regulated to generate the divers ....Transcription factor – enhancer – promoter based regulatory networks. This project aims to develop new understanding on how multicellular organisms (including humans) develop, and how mutations in distant regions of the genome can affect human traits. The way the human genome is interpreted by the cellular machinery is still a mystery. We have a reference sequence and know where the majority of coding genes are, but we are far from understanding how the genome is regulated to generate the diversity of cell types in our bodies. Enhancer regions interact with proximal promoters to regulate gene expression level and tissue-specificity. This project aims to develop transcriptional regulatory network models using high throughput chromatin interaction data and expression perturbation to link promoter and enhancers genome-wide.Read moreRead less
The structure in four-dimensions of a mammalian nuclear body. The project aims to develop a working model of a micron-sized molecular machine implicated in numerous aspects of gene regulation. Bodies in the mammalian cell nucleus are larger than macromolecular complexes and smaller than organelles. Recent developments in structural, molecular and cell biology are allowing us to begin to interpret their structure-function relationships. This project capitalises on a wealth of structural and funct ....The structure in four-dimensions of a mammalian nuclear body. The project aims to develop a working model of a micron-sized molecular machine implicated in numerous aspects of gene regulation. Bodies in the mammalian cell nucleus are larger than macromolecular complexes and smaller than organelles. Recent developments in structural, molecular and cell biology are allowing us to begin to interpret their structure-function relationships. This project capitalises on a wealth of structural and functional data on nuclear bodies termed paraspeckles with the aim of developing a structural model. It aims to track tens of proteins and long non-coding RNA from paraspeckles as they proceed through the cell cycle, by combining genome engineering, super-resolution microscopy, proteomics and in vitro interaction studies.Read moreRead less
