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.

Understanding prokaryotic small proteins from context. Prokaryotic small proteins are increasingly recognised to play important biological roles but have been largely overlooked due to the lack of adequate tools to study them. This project aims to develop new methods to identify and predict the functions of small proteins from microbial communities by studying sequence patterns in their genomes. These predicted functions will be confirmed in the laboratory, leading to a catalogue of newly charac ....Understanding prokaryotic small proteins from context. Prokaryotic small proteins are increasingly recognised to play important biological roles but have been largely overlooked due to the lack of adequate tools to study them. This project aims to develop new methods to identify and predict the functions of small proteins from microbial communities by studying sequence patterns in their genomes. These predicted functions will be confirmed in the laboratory, leading to a catalogue of newly characterised small proteins from a diverse range of habitats and geographies. By creating new ways to study the role of small proteins in the global microbiome, we will provide the foundational knowledge required to leverage these proteins for use in biotechnology.
