New CSIRO project to crack the codes of Australia’s most invasive species
13 February 2024
CSIRO’s Australian Pest Genome Partnership (APGP) is producing genetic data for Australia’s top pests and weeds to inform research and decisions on how to manage them.
DNA key to next level management for pests and weeds
13 February 2024
The Australian Pest Genome Partnership (APGP) is producing genetic data for Australia’s top pests and weeds to enable next generation research and management options. Invasive pests and weeds cost Australia billions of dollars every year in lost agricultural production and environmental damage. Our partnership will deliver easily accessible, reference-quality data assets on Australia’s top pests and weeds with environmental, agricultural and public health impacts. It will support the development of modern genome-based approaches to manage these species.
