Bioinformatics for Agriculture and Environment

AGRF’s bioinformatics services for agriculture and environmental science transform complex genomic data into meaningful insights. We support researchers, industry, and government in understanding plant, animal, soil, and microbial genomes to improve productivity, sustainability, and biosecurity.

Our expert team delivers customised analyses for applications such as:

  • Crop and livestock improvement

  • Soil microbiome profiling

  • Disease and pest resistance

  • Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring

  • Biodiversity and ecosystem studies

By combining cutting-edge genomics with powerful data analytics, AGRF helps drive innovation in agricultural practices and environmental stewardship across Australia and beyond.

 

  • Allegro uses a capture based method to amplify genomic regions for variant calling. Analysis method genotypes specific markers.

  • SNP discovery to characterise populations. Analysis method often used to characterise species with low reference genomes and as a low cost alternative to WGS in agricultural projects.

  • Using marker genes (16S, COI, ITS) identify the proportion of organisms (e.g. bacteria) in a sample.

  • Identifies and quantitates microorganisms and abundance of protein pathways.
