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.

Summary
Novel reproductive approaches to de-risk and transform barramundi breeding. Demand for Australian seafood outstrips supply. Farming of the iconic Australian barramundi is poised to play a major role addressing this shortfall; but innovative methods are needed to de-risk breeding processes and to provide precise control of maturation, spawning and genetic contribution of broodstock. This project, in partnership with the world’s largest barramundi breeding company, will develop, test and apply nov ....Novel reproductive approaches to de-risk and transform barramundi breeding. Demand for Australian seafood outstrips supply. Farming of the iconic Australian barramundi is poised to play a major role addressing this shortfall; but innovative methods are needed to de-risk breeding processes and to provide precise control of maturation, spawning and genetic contribution of broodstock. This project, in partnership with the world’s largest barramundi breeding company, will develop, test and apply novel breeding methods to obtain tight control over barramundi reproductive development and spawning. By combining cutting-edge genetic and applied breeding techniques, selective breeding programs will be more efficient and the genetic gains from breeding programs will be maximised.Read moreRead less

Summary
Improve genomic testing tools for fertility traits in beef cattle. Fertility is a key driver of productivity and profitability for beef industry; however, a substantial industry challenge is poor fertility and the difficulty and expense of measuring fertility in remote Australia. By integrating multiple omics datasets and fifty thousand fertility phenotypes recorded on beef cattle, the project will identify sequence variation, including structural variants, that underpin genetic variation in cat ....Improve genomic testing tools for fertility traits in beef cattle. Fertility is a key driver of productivity and profitability for beef industry; however, a substantial industry challenge is poor fertility and the difficulty and expense of measuring fertility in remote Australia. By integrating multiple omics datasets and fifty thousand fertility phenotypes recorded on beef cattle, the project will identify sequence variation, including structural variants, that underpin genetic variation in cattle fertility. Our industry partner, which genotypes hundreds of thousands of cattle a year, will produce new genotype arrays and novel low-cost sequencing approaches including these variants, enabling selection that could potentially increase herd reproductive rate by 4%, returning $40M per annum to the farmers.Read moreRead less

Summary
Developing a multimodal imaging pipeline for antisense technology. Antisense molecules represent a revolutionary drug discovery platform for life science, but to understand their distributions in cells and tissues is challenging. By integrating nanobiotechnology approaches, this project expects to develop and apply innovative imaging workflow to track antisense molecules in cells and tissues with nanoscale precision. Expected outcomes include new knowledge of the trafficking of these molecules a ....Developing a multimodal imaging pipeline for antisense technology. Antisense molecules represent a revolutionary drug discovery platform for life science, but to understand their distributions in cells and tissues is challenging. By integrating nanobiotechnology approaches, this project expects to develop and apply innovative imaging workflow to track antisense molecules in cells and tissues with nanoscale precision. Expected outcomes include new knowledge of the trafficking of these molecules across cells and tissues and refined imaging methods. This project should provide more strategic delivery of antisense molecules to specific cells and tissue, which will have significant downstream economic and social benefits to the Australian community.

Summary
Unravelling the genetics of Kangaroo paws for climate-resilient gardens. The project will produce the first DNA-anchored plant lineage map of Kangaroo paws and gain novel insights into their resilient growth characteristics. Using novel genome and data-driven strategies, this project addresses the knowledge gap around the genetic heirloom of more than 200 iconic Kangaroo paw varieties to speed up the breeding of new varieties with enticing leaf patterns and flower colour combinations. While unra ....Unravelling the genetics of Kangaroo paws for climate-resilient gardens. The project will produce the first DNA-anchored plant lineage map of Kangaroo paws and gain novel insights into their resilient growth characteristics. Using novel genome and data-driven strategies, this project addresses the knowledge gap around the genetic heirloom of more than 200 iconic Kangaroo paw varieties to speed up the breeding of new varieties with enticing leaf patterns and flower colour combinations. While unravelling the inheritability and breeding barriers, immediate industry adoption will boost horticultural breeding programs long-term. This project uses cutting-edge science to enhance industry capacity for providing new Kangaroo paws for climate-resilient urban green spaces on the national and international market.Read moreRead less

Summary
Delivering breeding-oriented genetic tools for cereal disease resistance. This project will focus specifically on delivering the genetic tools to the industry partner to assist its wheat and barley breeders to increase the accuracy and efficiency of incorporating the durable wheat stripe rust disease and barley leaf rust disease resistance into their core germplasm collections, respectively. The expected outcomes will also contribute to filling our knowledge gap in understanding the cereal rust ....Delivering breeding-oriented genetic tools for cereal disease resistance. This project will focus specifically on delivering the genetic tools to the industry partner to assist its wheat and barley breeders to increase the accuracy and efficiency of incorporating the durable wheat stripe rust disease and barley leaf rust disease resistance into their core germplasm collections, respectively. The expected outcomes will also contribute to filling our knowledge gap in understanding the cereal rust innate immune system and benefit other cereal fungal pathosystems. The wide application of the expected outcomes from the proposed project will reduce the utilisation of fungicides and subsequently will subsequently contribute to the resilience of cereal crops and sustainable global food security.Read moreRead less
