Characterising structural variation in the canola genome. This project aims to develop and apply genomic tools to identify and characterise structural genome variation in canola, a major Australian export crop, to better understand genome evolution and accelerate canola breeding. Advances in DNA sequencing revolutionise our understanding of crop genomes, their evolution and impact on the inheritance on agronomic traits. Variation of genome structure between individuals could be important in the inheritance of important agronomic traits. Recent advances in technology permit the detailed characterisation of structural variation on a previously unfeasible scale. Anticipated outcomes are enhanced global food security, supporting rural Australian economies, and accelerating the improvement of other major crops.

描述油菜基因组的结构变异。该项目旨在开发和应用基因组工具，以识别和分析澳大利亚主要出口作物油菜的基因组结构变异，以更好地了解基因组进化和加速油菜育种。DNA测序的进展彻底改变了我们对作物基因组、其进化及其对农艺性状遗传的影响的理解。个体间基因组结构的变异在重要农艺性状的遗传中可能是重要的。最近的技术进步允许在以前不可行的规模上详细描述结构变化。预期成果是加强全球粮食安全，支持澳大利亚农村经济，并加快其他主要作物的改良。
