ARC Centre in Bioinformatics

澳大利亚基因组-表观生物信息学中心将研究在哺乳动物细胞分化和发育过程中基因组是如何存活的。我们将对复杂的细胞系统和调控网络进行建模、可视化和实验验证，这些系统和网络控制着基因组信息到生物结构和功能的转换。我们将开发新的方法和工具来改善健康，优化农业生产，并开发新的细胞技术。该中心将在生物信息学方面建立关键的质量和国家重点，以产生澳大利亚在先进生物科学和生物技术领域竞争所需的人力资本和知识产权。

The Australian Centre for Genome-Phenome Bioinformatics will examine how the genome comes to life in the mammalian cell during differentiation and development. We will model, visualise and experimentally validate the complex cellular systems and regulatory networks that control the transformation of genomic information into biological structure and function. We will develop novel approaches and tools to improve health, optimise agricultural production and exploit new cell technologies. The Centre will build critical mass and national focus in bioinformatics to generate the human capital and intellectual property that Australia needs to compete in advanced bioscience and biotechnology.
