## Description

The Australian Reference Genome Atlas (ARGA) serves as a pivotal resource for aggregating genomic data related to Australia’s unique flora and fauna. This NCRIS-enabled platform, powered by the Atlas of Living Australia and developed in collaboration with Bioplatforms Australia and the Australian BioCommons, focuses on indexing a wide array of genetics and genomics data from reputable sources. ARGA offers access to reference genome assemblies, population variant sets, DNA barcodes, and comprehensive raw genomics data. Future expansions aim to incorporate metabolomics, transcriptomics, and microbiome data. With user-friendly search capabilities and customization options for dataset curation, researchers can efficiently export data to bioinformatics platforms for further analysis. ARGA aims to establish a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) service that enhances the ability to discover and analyze complex life science data, ultimately supporting research initiatives across Australia. This significant investment from the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) reinforces Australia’s commitment to advancing life science research infrastructure.
