The Australian Pathogen Genomics Program (AusPathoGen) is made possible by the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) as part of the Genomics Health Futures Mission (GHFM) Flagships – Pathogen Genomics grant opportunity.
The program is also made possible through national and international partnerships that bring together expertise from across academic, industry, government, and public health sectors, to solve public health problems using optimised pathogen genomics approaches.
To ensure international best-practices are adopted and to facilitate collaborations between communities and programs with aligned goals, the program has established key international partnerships to ensure global learnings can be applied and shared for continual optimisation of approaches to pathogen genomics.
AusTrakka is Australia’s national pathogen genomics surveillance platform. It provides public health labs with a central, secure, and private online location to share, analyse and view aggregated national genomic data from Australia and New Zealand. AusTrakka facilitates consistent and standardised genomic sequence sharing, analysis and reporting across states and territories for:
AusTrakka is integrated into AusPathoGen as the national platform for the visualisation and analysis of all metadata and genomic sequence data contributed towards the Program. Using AusTrakka ensures that AusPathoGen aligns with nationally consistent approaches to genomic analysis, supporting implementation of AusPathoGen’s research into public health action.
