Summary
Functional role of a novel DNA modification in the adult brain. This project aims to understand how neuronal DNA is modified upon learning and how this impacts memory formation. The project will investigate the combination of different genome-wide sequencing approaches and molecular and cell biological assays to provide new insight into the functional role of a novel DNA modification, N6-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine in the adult brain. This projects expects to have a major impact on many fields, inc ....Functional role of a novel DNA modification in the adult brain.

Natural product drug discovery in Australia requires access to high throughput functional assays to guide the separation and of novel bioactives with therapeutic potential. By establishing the advanced molecular discovery and characterisation facility in an academic environment across two institutions, research programs in early drug lead discovery and characterisation will be accelerated. It will provide unique capabilities not currently available in Australia, and help Australian researchers remain internationally competitive in breakthrough science and frontier technologies. The research enabled by this facility will lead to development of new drug candidates by the emerging Australian biotechnology industry.Read moreRead less
