GARDNER BIOINFORMATICS LAB

Welcome to the Gardner Bioinformatics Lab, located in the beautiful city of Dunedin, New Zealand. As a diverse research team, we are driven by a passion for answering intriguing research questions and making significant contributions to the field of bioinformatics.

At our institution, we are dedicated to building and maintaining comprehensive biological databases that serve as invaluable resources for researchers worldwide. Additionally, we develop cutting-edge bioinformatic tools that aid in the analysis and interpretation of complex biological data, ultimately accelerating the pace of scientific discovery.

Our expertise lies in conducting analyses of various datasets, including comparative genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, mutagenesis, and population variations. By utilizing advanced computational techniques, we uncover hidden patterns and gain a deeper understanding of the intricate workings of biological systems.

One of our core principles is the belief that scientific knowledge should be accessible to all. In line with this philosophy, we actively contribute to the online encyclopaedia, Wikipedia, by providing accurate and up-to-date information on various scientific topics. Moreover, we have authored a series of articles and editorials that highlight the benefits of academic contributions to this widely used resource.

To ensure the widespread dissemination of our research findings, we make our preprints available on bioRxiv.org, allowing fellow scientists to access and engage with our work at an early stage. Additionally, we publish open-access articles that are freely accessible to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge in the field of bioinformatics.

As advocates of open-source initiatives, we believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing. That's why we provide our open-source code freely, enabling researchers and developers to build upon our tools and contribute to the advancement of bioinformatics.

Whether you are a fellow researcher, student, or simply interested in the fascinating world of bioinformatics, we invite you to explore our website and discover the wealth of resources and knowledge we have to offer. Join us in our mission to accelerate research and make groundbreaking discoveries that shape the future of biology.
