The La Trobe DNA sequencing and Genomics Research Center is focused on improving the process of DNA sequencing for Genomics applications. We are interested in developing new DNA sequencing methods compatible with conventional Sanger-based DNA sequencing technologies, as well the new sequencing-by-synthesis and pyrosequencing based sequencing approaches. In addition, we are also work on improving general molecular biology techniques such as PCR, cloning, plasmid preparation, DNA and RNA isolation, protein expression and purification.
We have added a short background on how DNA is sequenced and why DNA sequence data is so useful.
We are working on new ways to improve DNA sequencing to make it both faster and cheaper. This section contains a list of current and future research projects involving DNA sequencing and Genomics technology development at the La Trobe University DNA sequencing research center.
April 2008. We have an ARC-Linkage grant Postdoc Fellowship looking at the control of foaming problems in waste water treatment plants using bacteriophage. For more information please vist the phage project page.
