Expanding the genomic frontier from species to strains and individuals to populations: The Ramaciotti Centre for Gene Function Analysis, a consortium of five universities, provides a large number of genomics and transcriptomics analyses. This project will establish an Ion Proton semiconductor-based sequencer and iScan platform to facilitate research breakthroughs in genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and SNP analysis. Cell screening technology will also be established to allow the rapid analysis of cells of interest, prior to genomic / transcriptomic analysis. The increased data output, and concomitant reduction in analysis cost on the new platforms, will expand the genomics frontier, allowing researchers to fully analyse many strains from a single-celled species or many individuals from a population.Read moreRead less

Summary
The contribution of histone post-translational modifications to eukaryotic evolution. By comparing the complete DNA sequence of closely related species, it is possible to identify changes in DNA that account for the diversity between these species. The project will use this approach to ask whether DNA changes that influence how DNA itself is packaged into cells have contributed to the evolution of new yeast species.
