A new online tutorial is taking researchers back to basics to uncover the principles of phylogenetics and how tree-building methods work thanks to a longstanding collaboration between Professor Michael Charleston from the University of Tasmania and Australian BioCommons.
Read MoreA diverse group of researchers converged at The University of Melbourne this month to work through their unique bioinformatics challenges under the guidance of The University of Auckland’s Dr Katarina Stuart.
Read MoreWe chat with Ashley to find out more about her research and why she chose to work with the National Bioinformatics Training Cooperative to uplift the skills of fellow researchers.
Read MoreThe new online course promises to increase the use of genetic data in Australian conservation management actions.
Read MoreTeaching genetics is easier and more effective now that a powerful online tool is being made available to Australian researchers and trainers through a new feature of the Australian Apollo Service.
Read MoreAustralian BioCommons partners broadly in our efforts to drive coordinated solutions to life science researchers’ problems. Genomics for Australian Plants (GAP) is developing genomics resources to enhance our understanding of the evolution and conservation of the unique Australian flora. GAP’s phylogenomics bioinformatics working group has combined newly developed and existing scripts into an integrated workflow for the assembly of target capture data.
Keen to share these resources with researchers who can use them, the group has been working with BioCommons to offer a series of events to train others in using these novel pipelines. Theoretical webinars and hands-on training workshops will be delivered virtually in conjunction with the upcoming Australasian Systematic Botany Society Conference.
