Next generation metagenomics

应用最新的科学进步，通过促进知识经济直接支持社会，并通过确保农业生产力，改善生物医学应用和更好地了解我们不断变化的环境间接支持社会。建立这些方法使澳大利亚处于基因组技术的最前沿，直接应用于澳大利亚的生物医学和生物技术产业。将下一代测序应用于宏基因组学将提供对微生物种群结构的详细了解，并导致生物医学，农业和环境科学的进步。

Applying the latest scientific advances supports society directly through promoting a knowledge based economy, as well as indirectly through securing agricultural productivity, improved biomedical applications and a greater understanding of our changing environment. Establishing these methods places Australia at the forefront of genomics technology with direct applications for Australian biomedical and biotechnology industries. Applying next generation sequencing for metagenomics will provide a detailed understanding of microbial population structures and lead to advances in biomedicine, agriculture and environmental science.
