Advancing vertebrate genomics with long-read sequencing

(PI: Dr Ira Deveson, Centre for Population Genomics)

The recent emergence of long-read DNA sequencing technologies has enabled relatively simple, cheap and rapid assembly of near-complete genomes for diverse vertebrate species. We are collaborating with numerous teams across the country to generate reference genomes for diverse Australian vertebrates, including mammals, reptiles and fish. These are vital resources for future genetics and evolutionary biology research, and conservation efforts in these species.

The Centre for Population Genomics is a national initiative, jointly housed at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. We work all across the country and collaborate with partners internationally and in Australia.

Careers

At CPG, we celebrate and respect diversity in our team and our work. We believe that including all human diversity in genomic research will empower medical care that benefits everyone.

We acknowledge the First Australian peoples on whose traditional lands we live and work across the country and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging. We gratefully accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart “to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future”.
