A new member for our Training Cooperative

After delivering many successful events in 2021, the National Bioinformatics Training Cooperative is keen to welcome new participants. We are thrilled that the South Australian Genomics Centre will come onboard to contribute expertise and broaden our reach across Australia. We look forward to hosting many more participants from South Australia at these free training opportunities in the near future.

The South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) was established in 2020 to support research in South Australia, as well as nationally and internationally. The SAGC is a partnership between the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), University of South Australia, Flinders University, The University of Adelaide, the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF), and the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI). Its establishment was supported by an investment of >$7 million, including $2 million from Bioplatforms Australia (BPA).

As well as providing a broad range of services including RNA sequencing, small RNA sequencing, exome and genome sequencing, epigenomics, metagenomics, and single cell genomics, the SAGC Bioinformatics Platform supports users of the facility in all areas of genomics including animal, plant, environmental, microbial, and human genomics.

Bioinformatics training events offered by SAGC have been popular with South Australian researchers, and we look forward to them becoming more involved in national activities via the Cooperative.
