Australian Genome Research Facility Limited

With a 20year track record in genomic technologies, advanced bioinformatics, and service delivery, combined with internationally recognised quality accreditations, AGRF specialises in delivering data to clinical partners to meet rigorous regulatory requirements. Our broad range of services is the most comprehensive and diverse offering in Australia, and includes nucleic acid extraction, genetic identification, methylation analysis, Sanger sequencing, genotyping, next generation sequencing, bioinformatics, and more. Australia s agriculture and aquaculture sectors are important contributors to the economy. Advances in emerging genomebased technologies offer new tools and solutions for our most significant challenges in this area, paving the way to healthier crops, livestock and fisheries. In addition, our impact on the environment is of key importance, and many of our services can play a role in unravelling new outcomes. AGRF s Microbial Profiling service can identify and classify the relative proportion of bacterial and/or fungal microorganisms present in metagenomic communities. These communities play a range of different roles, including maintaining immunity, promoting healthy plant growth and they can even be used to cleanup environmental disasters such as oil spills.
