Developing technology for the cost effective de novo sequencing and analysis of complex genomes

应用最新的科学进步通过促进以知识为基础的经济直接支持社会，并通过确保农业生产力和改进生物医学应用间接支持社会。建立这些方法使澳大利亚处于基因组技术的前沿，直接应用于澳大利亚的生物医学和生物技术行业。对农村和城市社区来说，在不可靠的环境中维持农业生产仍然是一项全国性的挑战。这项测序技术将提供对作物基因组结构的详细了解，并导致开发更适合澳大利亚气候的作物，支持可持续的农业产业。

Applying the latest scientific advances supports society directly through promoting a knowledge based economy, as well as indirectly through securing agricultural productivity and improved biomedical applications. Establishing these methods places Australia at the forefront of genomics technology with direct applications for Australian biomedical and biotechnology industries. Maintaining agricultural production in an unreliable environment remains a national challenge, both for rural and urban communities. This sequencing technology will provide a detailed understanding of crop genome structure and lead to the development of crops that are better suited to the Australian climate, supporting a sustainable agricultural industry.
