About
The Ecogenomics and Bioinformatics Lab (EBL) is a collaborative space located on the ground floor of the R.N. Robertson Building 46, ANU. The EBL supports training, collaboration and cross-pollination of genomic research. The facility includes experimental and computational components to underpin studies across both data generation and data analysis. The lab contains instrumentation for the preparation of sample libraries for genome sequencing including for the QC of native and library DNA/RNA using microfluidic chip and capillary instruments, DNA fractionation, real-time PCR, high-throughput sample processing using robotic liquid handling, and long read (ONT) sequencing. The EBL also houses a Trace DNA lab for handling highly degraded and low concentration samples, such as ancient or museum specimens. For further information about the EBL please contact Niccy Aiken at ebl@anu.edu.au.
