Australian Avian Genomics Initiative – Call for Partnerships 2024 Now open!
The Australian Avian Genomics Initiative aims to build a foundation of molecular data to advance our understanding and conservation of Australia’s unique bird species. This durable data resource generated by the initiative will include gap-filling reference genomes for Australian representatives of all bird families in Australia, and increasing capacity for cutting-edge studies using phylogenomic, population genomic, and other ‘omic approaches. Deadline to apply: March 28, 2024.
The initiative welcomes partnership requests with various analytic designs such as:
- Reference genomes on the list of priority groups and species defined (see list here)
- Population genomics (SNPs, re-sequencing)
- Phylogenomics
- Multi-omics project including one or more omics
