The ANFC project, in collaboration with ANU and CSIRO, aims to optimise genomic tools for extracting DNA from formalin-preserved fish specimens. This will enhance species identification, improve biodiversity research, and aid conservation efforts by providing genetic insights into rare and cryptic marine species.

The study by Bee Gunn and Sarah Mathews focuses on developing hyRAD probes for genome-scale research on Australian palms, specifically the Ptychospermatinae subtribe. It aims to resolve phylogenetic relationships and understand palm diversity and evolution, highlighting the ecological significance of palms and their coevolution with native fauna.

The Ignition Grant Round 1 project, led by Carsten Kulheim and Joe Miller, aims to resolve the phylogeny of the Eucalyptus series globulares. By sequencing reduced genomes from 96 samples, the study seeks to clarify hybridisation events and enhance understanding of Eucalyptus speciation.

The project, involving CSIRO and ANU, aims to explore the diversity of frog skin microbiomes across Australia. It will use high-throughput DNA sequencing to investigate genetic, morphological, and evolutionary influences on microbiomes, assess chytridiomycosis impacts, and identify potential disease-resistant microbial elements in Uperoleia frogs.

The Ignition Grant Round 7 aims to study Coolibah trees in the Lake Eyre Basin, focusing on their genetic variability and hydrological influences. Collaborating with ANU and CSIRO, the project will use genomic analysis to understand genetic patterns and environmental adaptations, enhancing conservation efforts.

The Ignition Grant Round 5 aims to develop a genomic data resource linking Australia's biodiversity data to the Atlas of Living Australia. This initiative will enhance access, visualisation, and analysis of genetic, spatial, and environmental data, supporting research and conservation efforts across Australia's biota.
