It's great hosting and catching up with Prof Karen Tanino from University of Saskatchewan to talk about the progress of our AgriFutures-funded project on rice water use efficiency.

Congratulations to Renee De Boer in presenting a flash talk of her poster on Genomic Characterisation of the Australian Rice Diversity Panel Based on Genotyping-By-Sequencing Data in AMSI #BioinfoSummer

First day of AMSI #BioinfoSummer conference and workshop done and dusted. Interesting concepts in whole cell modelling that I'd like to implement for our lactic and acetic acid bacterial strains.
