Genomics

Genomics is the study of genomes or the complete complement of genes, using genetic material identified through sequencing techniques. Focus areas include genome assembly, annotation and comparative genomics.

Services and Resources

Access bioinformatics and data analysis tools without the need to code.

Automated eukaryote genome annotation.

Collaboratively annotate and edit your genomes in a built and maintained private Apollo instance.

Includes genomics themed webinars, discussions and workshops.

Find where genomics tools are installed and optimised across our national computational partner network.

Find scientific computational workflows for your genomics analyses or share your own in a range of workflow types.

Find all available genomic data relevant for Australian native or agricultural taxa in one place.

Access computational resources to generate genomic data assets.

Access, create and run Nextflow workflows for genomic bioinformatics analyses.

Join the conversation - all are welcome!

We help coordinate a community for genomics, which aims to:

Provide a forum to:

  • Connect with colleagues, share knowledge and collaborate 

  • Learn how to leverage relevant tools and services 

  • Identify gaps in current community scale digital infrastructure.

This approach helps us identify and deploy relevant national scale services and resources (such as those listed above) that help address these gaps

The BioCommons coordinates activities for researchers, scientists and bioinformaticians using genomics in their research and work. You can find out more about these activities in:

Note that we also have active projects that are specific to human genomics.

Roadmap

We have been engaging with a broad group of Australian researchers since 2019 to develop Genomics Infrastructure Roadmaps for Australia, which present a community vision for shared national infrastructure that will help researchers undertake genomics analyses. 

Roadmaps act as blueprints to inform the work we do with various partners to deploy the services and resources listed above.
