Applications
Clinical Genomics
With a 20-year track record in genomic technologies, advanced bioinformatics, and service delivery, combined with internationally recognised quality accreditations, AGRF specialises in delivering data to clinical partners to meet rigorous regulatory requirements.
Biomedical Research
Our broad range of services is the most comprehensive and diverse offering in Australia, and includes nucleic acid extraction, genetic identification, methylation analysis, Sanger sequencing, genotyping, next generation sequencing, bioinformatics, and more.
Agriculture & Environmental Science
Australia’s agriculture and aquaculture sectors are important contributors to the economy. Advances in emerging genome-based technologies offer new tools and solutions for our most significant challenges in this area, paving the way to healthier crops, livestock and fisheries. In addition, our impact on the environment is of key importance, and many of our services can play a role in unraveling new outcomes.
Microbiome
AGRF’s Microbial Profiling service can identify and classify the relative proportion of bacterial and/or fungal microorganisms present in metagenomic communities. These communities play a range of different roles, including maintaining immunity, promoting healthy plant growth and they can even be used to clean-up environmental disasters such as oil spills.
Epigenetics
Analysis of DNA methylation and demethylation, and the functional effects of these changes are of increasing interest to epigenetics researchers in developmental programming, cell differentiation, disease identification, and therapeutic development. From whole genome studies to quantitative customised analyses we can help you analyse methylation patterns using a variety technologies.
Genetic Identification
AGRF’s range of Genetic Identification services offer customised solutions for DNA typing, using sequencing and genotyping methods for a variety of identification purposes, from human cell lines and exomes through to olives, grapes and others.
