Biological research is playing an increasingly important role in keeping agriculture internationally competitive and helping to unravel the basic mechanisms underpinning plant and animal health. This collaborative research equipment will greatly enhance and extend our existing functional genomic facilities in WA, allowing robust pre-fractionation of samples for directed proteomic analysis within complex systems and allowing accurate and sensitive measurement of gene expression. Both of these are critical for analysis of low abundance components involved in signalling and regulatory functions in biological samples.Read moreRead less

Infrastructure requested will expand the capacity of researchers in NSW to undertake experiments using state-of-the-art technologies based on the recent advances in genomic and proteomic analysis. It will ensure the retention of leading researchers in the exciting areas of functional genomics and systems biology as contribute to biomolecular research in medicine, agriculture and environmental biology, thereby providing major benefits to the wider community. The application aims to enhance existing genomic technologies by adding platforms that will increase the scope of experiments that can be performed as well as providing automation and increased capacity to handle the increasing demand for these techniquesRead moreRead less
Investigating the role of gene loops in regulating gene expression. The ability to identify functional variants in regulatory elements will have implications for researchers in multiple fields of biology, from molecular medicine to agriculture. Transfer of expertise and application of the knowledge generated by our research to such fields stands to improve diagnosis of disease predisposition and to improve quality of animal and plant products. These outcomes will benefit all Australians. This kn ....Investigating the role of gene loops in regulating gene expression. The ability to identify functional variants in regulatory elements will have implications for researchers in multiple fields of biology, from molecular medicine to agriculture. Transfer of expertise and application of the knowledge generated by our research to such fields stands to improve diagnosis of disease predisposition and to improve quality of animal and plant products. These outcomes will benefit all Australians. This knowledge will also improve the education of Australian University students as it contributes to the development of advanced curricula and access to more powerful research methods. In addition, the project will foster important collaborations between Australian researchers and those overseas.Read moreRead less
