Scientific publication Towards risk governance of clinical genomics in Australia Professionals within the clinical genomics system recognise the significant benefits of genomics in healthcare, but they hold divergent perspectives on the ethical, technical, and social risks involved.
Scientific publication The Limitations of Current Cystic Fibrosis Screening Recommendations Reproductive carrier testing is an important tool for well-informed family planning especially for inherited recessive disorders like cystic fibrosis. Our recent Prenatal Diagnosis publication in collaboration with Genepath showed that current screening recommendations
Scientific publication New research finds genomic professionals support patient genomic data ownership in Australia Advances in genomics have huge potential for patient outcomes. But with this momentum comes an ethical tension around the rights of patients to own their data. Our new research explores perceptions of health
Scientific publication Machine Learning provides early warning for emerging COVID-19 variants Researchers at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, have developed a faster and more comprehensive way to identify emerging and dangerous COVID 19 variants, by analysing the DNA of the whole variant, rather
Scientific publication Finding viral integrations with isling CSIRO has published a software tool to detect if and where viral DNA has integrated into the genome of its host. This helps assess the consequences of a viral infection and the safety
Scientific publication New software-guided approach streamlines genome editing capability CSIRO has developed a computational tool for a new genome editing approach that makes research and clinical applications more effective. The approach consists of a new gene editing strategy developed by the University
Scientific publication BitEpi, a software tool to find hidden epistatic interactions in the genome The Transformational Bioinformatics Group published BitEpi, a software tool to find the hidden gene-gene interactions in the genome. Complex diseases are driven my multiple genes and understanding this interplay could be the holy
Scientific publication Detecting foreign DNA with INSIDER The Transformational Bioinformatics Group have published a new software, INSIDER, for detecting foreign DNA in the genome. The tool helps streamline the process of finding genetic elements that are different to the rest
Scientific publication A Score Card for Genome Editing Techniques (GOANA) The Transformational Bioinformatics Group published a new software (GOANA [1]) to score genome editing approaches: It helps make Gene Therapy become a reality, by detecting and comparing rare mutations that may be accidentally
Scientific publication Defining a global standard for COVID-19 patient data collection To fight COVID-19 we need to understand the functional consequences of viral mutation. However, only 13% of current entries in the world’s largest COVID-19 virus database (GISAID) have the necessary information about
Genome Insights Trillion data points to identify disease-causing genes Researchers from CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, have accomplished a world-first by processing one trillion points of genomic data through VariantSpark, an artificial intelligence-based platform, which can help pinpoint the location of
Scientific publication Novel Bioinformatics software for COVID-19 vaccine testing The Transformational Bioinformatics Group published a new software tool to help fight COVID19: It supports researchers in choosing the right viral strain for pre-clinical models and vaccine testing.
Scientific publication Building a bridge between gene editing and machine learning Is this review paper the babel fish to translate between genome editing and machine learning jargon?
Scientific publication New CSIRO software aims to increase gene therapy safety for medical and biosecurity applications We’ve developed an algorithm that one day will enable clinicians to work with your DNA to find the optimal treatment.
Scientific publication AEHRC researchers develop a more efficient way to detect disease genes A new software developed by CSIRO offers a more reliable way to recreate gene mutations in the lab.
