Next-generation genomic resources to tackle parasitic diseases of animals

基因组学革命为应对影响全球数十亿动物的破坏性寄生虫病提供了前所未有的机会。通过前沿技术的协同作用和与华大基因国际的强大合作伙伴关系，该项目旨在实现对寄生虫的理解方面的重大概念进展；基因组学和生物信息学方面无与伦比的技能基础；创新的新分子技术；以及作为生物技术成果的新治疗和诊断测试。澳大利亚的这一飞跃将大大提高寄生虫学研究的全球形象，为早期职业科学家提供培训和就业机会，并改善获得国际研究资金和网络的机会。

The revolution in genomics provides unprecedented opportunities to tackle destructive parasitic diseases affecting billions of animals worldwide. Through a synergy of leading-edge technologies and a strong partnership with BGI International, this project aims to deliver major conceptual advances in the understanding of parasitism; an unparalleled skills-base in genomics and bioinformatics; innovative new molecular technologies; and new treatments and diagnostic tests as biotechnological outcomes. This leap forward in Australia will substantially enhance the global profile of parasitology research, training and employment opportunities for early career scientists, and improve access to international research funding and networks.
