The primary benefits are contribution to Australia's knowledge base and raising the profile of functional genomics in Australia, with the research priority of Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries and priority goals in Breakthrough Science and Frontier Technologies. This project focuses on important biological questions surrounding gene regulation and sex chromosome evolution. International attention has already resulted in genome characterization of Australian icons (wallaby, Tasmanian devil and platypus), more research on these, and other Australian animals, will further highlight the importance of Australian fauna and impact positively on our scientific profile.

主要的好处是有助于澳大利亚的知识基础和提高功能基因组学在澳大利亚的形象，与建设和改造澳大利亚产业的前沿技术的研究优先事项和突破性科学和前沿技术的优先目标。该项目的重点是围绕基因调控和性染色体进化的重要生物学问题。国际关注已经导致澳大利亚图标（袋鼠，塔斯马尼亚魔鬼和鸭嘴兽）的基因组特征，对这些和其他澳大利亚动物的更多研究将进一步突出澳大利亚动物群的重要性，并对我们的科学形象产生积极影响。
