Brief description Bioinformatics network for the interrogation of adult stem cells. This project addresses the National Research Priority 'Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries'. The use of state of the art DNA sequencing results in huge amounts of data that is hard to interpret without the use of computers. This project builds Australia's capacity to deal with huge biological datasets by creating software and expertise in handling these datasets. The application of this software and expertise to our stem cell population in Parkinson's disease patients will enable new insight into the difference between patients and controls.
