Given the significance of comparative genomic analysis, this research proposal brings together Australian scientists with a track record in comparative genomic analysis, bioinformatics, molecular biology and statistics to work on consolidating a computational framework for comparative genomic analysis and investigating transcriptome data by capitalising on international collaborations and involvement. The outcomes of this research will be of benefit to the national community through technology transfer (such as the identification of novel and functional genomic non-coding sequences), training (in bioinformatics related activities) and national coordination (of bioinformatics activities).Read moreRead less
Group actions: combinatorics, geometry and computation. Science today relies on digital technologies using quantised and digital information. Because of the discrete nature of digital information, much of the mathematics underpinning these advances comes from the core disciplines of algebra and combinatorics within which this proposal falls.

Science today relies on digital technologies using quantised and digital information. Because of the discrete nature of digital information, much of the mathematics underpinning these advances comes from the core disciplines of algebra and combinatorics within which this proposal falls. All aspects of the proposal focus on strengthening theoretical understanding of algebraic and combinatorial structures, and increasing computational power for working with them. The fundamental research outcomes, in terms of theorems, algorithms, and the training of young research mathematicians, will thus both enhance the high international standing of Australian mathematics, and strengthen Australia's capabilities in these important areas.Read moreRead less
