&lt;div&gt;Most next generation transcriptome sequencing projects rely on either mapping sequenced reads to a reference of the assembly of the reads themselves to produce a reference for mapping.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an alternative approach, we have established a non-mapping method where differential expressed reads are determined by examining kmer abundance. While computationally expensive, this approach has the advantage in that it works well for metagenomic samples and can differentiate between very similar genes from the same or related organisms.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==About the group==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applied bioinformatics group was founded in 2007 at the University of Queensland and moved to the University of Western Australia in January 2015. Since this time, the group has established itself as a leading bioinformatics group in Australia. Our current research activities include the second generation sequencing of complex genomes and metagenomic populations, genome annotation, diversity analysis, trait association and data visualisation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group receives funding from the [http://www.uwa.edu.au/ University of Western Australia], the [http://www.arc.gov.au/ Australian Research Council], the [http://www.grdc.com.au/ Grains Research and Development Corporation] and several industry partners to undertake applied bioinformatics research in genetics and genomics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group is led by Professor [[David Edwards]] and consists of researchers with diverse backgrounds. We offer training in applied bioinformatics at all levels and [[publications_DE|publish]] widely in the fields of genomics, genetics and bioinformatics. Please contact [mailto:Dave.Edwards@uwa.edu.au David Edwards] for further information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are based at the University of Western Australia's Crawley campus in Perth, Australia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Publications==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We publish extensively in major journals. A current list of publications can be found here [[publications_DE|'publications']]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Public research projects==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applied bioinformatics research group works in several areas associated with second generation sequencing and assembly, genetic and genomic variation analysis and the discovery and application of molecular genetic markers. We work with a range of species, mostly in collaboration with a broad range of national and international research groups.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Wheat is a major human staple used for the production of bread, pasta, noodles, beer and even ethanol biofuel. The hexaploid genome of bread wheat is extremely large, 16,000 million basepairs (Mbp), making it difficult to characterise and confounding many traditional bioinformatics analysis tools. We are developing bioinformatics tools for the analysis of this complex crop genome with the aim of supporting applied crop research and improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wheat is probably the most important crop in the world, yet it has one of the most challenging genomes. Bread wheat is a hexaploid, with three complete genomes termed A, B and D in the nucleus of each cell. Each of these genomes is almost twice of the human genome and consists of around 5,500 million letters. Several groups around the world are working towards sequencing wheat. Details of individual efforts can be found on the wiki below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Genome sequencing projects can be generally divided into whole genome shotgun (WGS) methods or BAC by BAC methods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WGS attempts to sequence the genome in one go, by generating a large amount of sequence data and then assembling this to produce a representation of the string of letters which make up the genome. WGS has the benefit in that it is quick and relatively inexpensive, but it is often confounded by the inability to stitch the individual sequence reads together, resulting in a poor quality assembly. This is particularly problematic for polyploids, where more than one genome is present in each cell, or where there is a substantial quantity of repetitive sequences. Wheat is a polyploid with 3 genomes, each of which is 80% repetitive, making WGS unattractive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alternative BAC by BAC approach requires breaking the genome down to relatively small pieces (c. 120 kbp), ordering these as a minimal tiling path, then sequencing each of the BACs in the tiling path. While sequence assembly or repetitive regions remains problematic, this approach offers the potential to produce the best quality finished genome. However, BAC by BAC sequencing of wheat is hugely expensive, time consuming and is still not guaranteed to produce a complete genome due to some regions being underrepresented in BAC libraries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have taken an alternative approach, combining their experience of second generation sequencing technology with the ability of the Dolezel group in the Czech Republic to isolate individual chromosome arms. We have demonstrated that we can produce sequence data and assemble all genes for a specific chromosome arm. By including comparative genomic and molecular genetic marker data, we can produce an assembled sequence representing all known genes, including gene promoters and surrounding genome sequence. This syntenic build is the basis for studies of genome evolution and function with the aim of improving this important crop plant. As we assemble and annotate wheat chromosome arms, they are made publically available using the genome viewer GBrowse2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results are presented in the publications below.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Wheat is a major human staple used for the production of bread, pasta, noodles, beer and even ethanol biofuel. The hexaploid genome of bread wheat is extremely large, 16,000 million basepairs (Mbp), making it difficult to characterise and confounding many traditional bioinformatics analysis tools. We are developing bioinformatics tools for the analysis of this complex crop genome with the aim of supporting applied crop research and improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wheat is probably the most important crop in the world, yet it has one of the most challenging genomes. Bread wheat is a hexaploid, with three complete genomes termed A, B and D in the nucleus of each cell. Each of these genomes is almost twice of the human genome and consists of around 5,500 million letters. Several groups around the world are working towards sequencing wheat. Details of individual efforts can be found on the wiki below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Genome sequencing projects can be generally divided into whole genome shotgun (WGS) methods or BAC by BAC methods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WGS attempts to sequence the genome in one go, by generating a large amount of sequence data and then assembling this to produce a representation of the string of letters which make up the genome. WGS has the benefit in that it is quick and relatively inexpensive, but it is often confounded by the inability to stitch the individual sequence reads together, resulting in a poor quality assembly. This is particularly problematic for polyploids, where more than one genome is present in each cell, or where there is a substantial quantity of repetitive sequences. Wheat is a polyploid with 3 genomes, each of which is 80% repetitive, making WGS unattractive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alternative BAC by BAC approach requires breaking the genome down to relatively small pieces (c. 120 kbp), ordering these as a minimal tiling path, then sequencing each of the BACs in the tiling path. While sequence assembly or repetitive regions remains problematic, this approach offers the potential to produce the best quality finished genome. However, BAC by BAC sequencing of wheat is hugely expensive, time consuming and is still not guaranteed to produce a complete genome due to some regions being underrepresented in BAC libraries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have taken an alternative approach, combining their experience of second generation sequencing technology with the ability of the Dolezel group in the Czech Republic to isolate individual chromosome arms. We have demonstrated that we can produce sequence data and assemble all genes for a specific chromosome arm. By including comparative genomic and molecular genetic marker data, we can produce an assembled sequence representing all known genes, including gene promoters and surrounding genome sequence. This syntenic build is the basis for studies of genome evolution and function with the aim of improving this important crop plant. As we assemble and annotate wheat chromosome arms, they are made publically available using the genome viewer GBrowse2.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==About the group==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applied bioinformatics group was founded in 2007 at the University of Queensland and moved to the University of Western Australia in January 2015. Since this time, the group has established itself as a leading bioinformatics group in Australia. Our current research activities include the second generation sequencing of complex genomes and metagenomic populations, genome annotation, diversity analysis, trait association and data visualisation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group receives funding from the [http://www.uwa.edu.au/ University of Western Australia], the [http://www.arc.gov.au/ Australian Research Council], the [http://www.grdc.com.au/ Grains Research and Development Corporation] and several industry partners to undertake applied bioinformatics research in genetics and genomics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group is led by Professor [[David Edwards]] and consists of researchers with diverse backgrounds. We offer training in applied bioinformatics at all levels and [[publications_DE|publish]] widely in the fields of genomics, genetics and bioinformatics. Please contact [mailto:Dave.Edwards@uwa.edu.au David Edwards] for further information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are based at the University of Western Australia's Crawley campus in Perth, Australia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Publications==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We publish extensively in major journals. A current list of publications can be found here [[publications_DE|'publications']]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Public research projects==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applied bioinformatics research group works in several areas associated with second generation sequencing and assembly, genetic and genomic variation analysis and the discovery and application of molecular genetic markers. We work with a range of species, mostly in collaboration with a broad range of national and international research groups.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The applied bioinformatics group has extended research experience and interests from crop genomes to metagenomics. This research is supported by an ARC linkage project titled 'next-generation metagenomics', in collaboration with Biomatters Ltd (NZ).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our aim is to develop strategic collaborations where we apply our experience in second generation genomics and bioinformatics, together with partner experience in specific biological environments to answer tightly defined biological questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Projects to date include analysis of the coral holobiont in response to climate change and assembly of methanogens from cattle rumen.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==About the group==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applied bioinformatics group was founded in 2007 at the University of Queensland and moved to the University of Western Australia in January 2015. Since this time, the group has established itself as a leading bioinformatics group in Australia. Our current research activities include the second generation sequencing of complex genomes and metagenomic populations, genome annotation, diversity analysis, trait association and data visualisation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group receives funding from the [http://www.uwa.edu.au/ University of Western Australia], the [http://www.arc.gov.au/ Australian Research Council], the [http://www.grdc.com.au/ Grains Research and Development Corporation] and several industry partners to undertake applied bioinformatics research in genetics and genomics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group is led by Professor [[David Edwards]] and consists of researchers with diverse backgrounds. We offer training in applied bioinformatics at all levels and [[publications_DE|publish]] widely in the fields of genomics, genetics and bioinformatics. Please contact [mailto:Dave.Edwards@uwa.edu.au David Edwards] for further information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are based at the University of Western Australia's Crawley campus in Perth, Australia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Publications==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We publish extensively in major journals. A current list of publications can be found here [[publications_DE|'publications']]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Public research projects==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applied bioinformatics research group works in several areas associated with second generation sequencing and assembly, genetic and genomic variation analysis and the discovery and application of molecular genetic markers. We work with a range of species, mostly in collaboration with a broad range of national and international research groups.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;We are currently preparing a second edition of the volume ‘Plant Bioinformatics’ to be published by Humana Press (Springer). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This volume in the popular Methods in Molecular Biology series is a follow up to the first edition published in 2007. The first edition proved extremely popular, and for this second edition, I plan to maintain a similar structure. Some chapters will be the same as the original edition, but updated to ensure that they are current, while new chapters will be introduced to reflect changes in plant bioinformatics since 2007. Details of the first edition are available here: http://www.amazon.com/Plant-Bioinformatics-Methods-Protocols-Molecular/dp/1588296539&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==CMap3D==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Genetic linkage mapping enables the study of genome organisation and the association of heritable traits with regions of sequenced genomes. Comparative genetic mapping is particularly powerful as it allows translation of information between related genomes and gives an insight into genome evolution. A common tool for the storage, comparison and visualisation of genetic maps is CMap. However, current visualisation in CMap is limited to the comparison of adjacent aligned maps. To overcome this limitation and in collaboration with CMap developers, we have developed CMap3D, a tool to compare multiple genetic maps in three-dimensional space. CMap3D is based on a client/server model ensuring operability with current CMap data repositories. This tool can be applied to any species where genetic map information is available and enables rapid, direct comparison between multiple aligned maps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The software is a standalone application written in Processing and Java. Binaries are available for Windows, OSX and Linux, and require Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or later. &lt;br /&gt;
The software is freely available for non-commercial use.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==About the group==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applied bioinformatics group was founded in 2007 at the University of Queensland to lead a Bioinformatics node for the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics and establish independent research in applied bioinformatics. Since this time, the group has attracted more than 6.5 M AU$ in competitive funds and is a leading bioinformatics group in Australia. Our current research activities include the second generation sequencing of complex plant genomes and metagenomic populations, genome annotation, diversity analysis, trait association and data visualisation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group receives funding from the [http://www.acpfg.com.au/ Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics], the [http://www.uq.edu.au/ University of Queensland], the [http://www.arc.gov.au/ Australian Research Council], the [http://www.grdc.com.au/ Grains Research and Development Corporation] and several industry partners to undertake applied bioinformatics research in genetics and genomics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group is led by Professor [[David Edwards]] and consists of researchers with diverse backgrounds. We offer training in applied bioinformatics at all levels and [[publications_DE|publish]] widely in the fields of genomics, genetics and bioinformatics. Please contact [mailto:Dave.Edwards@uq.edu.au David Edwards] for further information.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.&lt;br /&gt;
