Australian Reference Genome Atlas (ARGA)

Keeping track of genomes for biodiversity! 🧬 We've launched the Genome Tracker website! 🗺️ It's part of the Australian Reference Genome Atlas platform, delivered through ALA, @BioplatformsAus, Australian BioCommons & the Australian Research Data Commons

🌟ARGA App update: check out our bouncy, brand new taxonomic coverage widget app.arga.org.au🌟 🪩 Fun and informative! Click on the taxa to see how many ARGA has indexed.🪩 @atlaslivingaus @AusBiocommons @BioplatformsAus @ARDC_AU #NCRISimpact #biodiversity #Genomics

We are hiring! Our Bioinformatics Core Facility is looking for an enthusiastic Bioinformatician to join our team and support a number of exciting genomic-based research projects

This is Year 2 of the Christmas beetle count! 🪲 Last year we found species that haven’t been recorded for decades. What will you find this year? invertebratesaustralia.org/christmasbeetl… inaturalist.org/projects/chris… #invertebratesaustralia #wildoz #citizenscience #christmasbeetlecount

@ARGA_Genomes fantastic engineer 🌟Goran🌟 is by poster 🌟225🌟 @Genetics2023 today, ready to answer Australian species data questions! Stop by and have a chat 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 #biodiversity #Genomics #NCRIS_impact

Released today - annotated reference genome & mitogenome for one of Australia's most critically endangered & cryptic frogs - Kroombit tinker frog. First genome of its genus! f1000research.com/articles/12-845 @FarquharsonKate @KathyBelov @ThreatenedSpGen @ellemclennan @EBPgenome @CWSlive

ARGA's incredible BA, Keeva, is road-testing the design for the new ARGA app [app.arga.org.au] at #ICG2023. Come along to the @AusBiocommons booth (27) and explore the demo site!

@ARGA_Genomes team is delighted to be spending the week at #ICG2023! We would love to talk animal and plant genomics with you. Stop by Stand 27, where we are hanging with @AusBiocommons, to choose a snazzy badge to take home! #genomics @atlaslivingaust @BioplatformsAus @ARDC_AU

Come and see us at #ICG2023 to chat about the fully subsidised services we offer to 🇦🇺 researchers! Meet the team from @GalaxyAustralia, @ARGA_Genomes and @BioplatformsAus #genomics #bioinformatics

Today we launch our new Australian Functional Fungi Initiative! We will partner with innovative industries, start-ups and the research community to generate molecular resources targeting 🍄 Look out for our upcoming request for partnerships #NCRISimpact bioplatforms.com/news/launch-au…

Excellent talk by Keeva Connolly at @AusNZeDNA to introduce the Australian Reference Genome Atlas @ARGA_Genomes to the Australian and NZ eDNA community @atlaslivingaust @BioplatformsAus @ARDC_AU @AusBiocommons

📆8 Feb: Handling #BioDiversity Data? Join #SensitiveData IG to learn about the Restricted Access Species Data project, a joint effort between ARDC & our partners to enable the sharing of sensitive species data. ️More info: eventbrite.com.au/e/aus-sensitiv… @atlaslivingaust @_WABSI

Amazing day!! All 430 koala 30X resequenced genomes available on @awscloud open data sets. Massive effort to get to this point, no lying around though, now real work begins @KathyBelov @Sydney_Science @ellemclennan @lukesilver20 @James_HGriffin @tanya_plibersek 🐨🧵

👋 Come and say hi to the ALA team at our @eresearch booth in #Brisbane! We'll be here Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday this week. 🧡 Chat to us about ALA tools & capabilities & find out more about @ARGA_Genomes. #NCRISImpact #Conference

Finding genomics data can be a nightmare! We want to know what you want and need to create #impact in your research. Register online to tell us what you think at ARGA's stakeholder workshops this November: forms.gle/NfsVuSuAzBRyAi… #NCRIS_impact

Still some spots left for the Virtual Desktop Service Webinar! Register today: virtualdesktop.eventbrite.com.au

Data-intensive research demands extra computing power. Australian researchers can now use our Virtual Desktop Service, powered by @nectar_cloud, to set up a personal computer in the cloud in minutes with their AAF login: bit.ly/ARDCvds @qcifltd @MonashUni @UniMelb

Looking to transition from the bench? We are #hiring! Work with @AusBiocommons @BioplatformsAus @atlaslivingaust @ARDC_AU on this exciting genomics platform that will benefit #conservation, #agriculture & #biosecurity. Hurry! Applications close 25 July. #NCRISimpact

Are you a #lifesciences researcher in the Melbourne area? We are looking for #volunteers who would be willing to have @ARGA_Genomes observe your sequence analysis pipelines to help us develop new infrastructure. Reply to let us know you're in! #NCRISimpact
