Read about our new research portfolio

Genomics science offers opportunities to do environmental management differently. After a record number of applications, and review by our expert science advisory group, we are pleased to announce an exciting new research and development portfolio focused on creating new technologies for environmental monitoring, bioprospecting, and more.

Australia/New Zealand eDNA best practice guidelines

Together with partners we have developed guidelines for research and monitoring applications using eDNA.

Using DNA sequences to estimate lifespan

Using genomic 'CG' density and known fish lifespans, Alyssa will build a model to estimate the lifespan in species for which it is currently unknown.

DNA reference library a game-changer for environmental monitoring

DNA reference library a game-changer for environmental monitoring

We are building a National Biodiversity DNA Library to deliver a complete collection of DNA reference sequences for all known Australian animal and plant species. Minderoo Foundation is partnering with CSIRO to fund the first part of this DNA reference library, focusing on all species of Australian marine vertebrates, including fishes, whales, dolphins, seals, turtles, sea snakes and inshore sea and aquatic birds.
