DIPLOMICS ( Distributed Platform in Omics)
Южно-Африканская Республика
Добавлен 4 июн 2020
DIPLOMICS is an initiative of the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) with the vision of helping to make South Africa a leading player in 'Omics'. It is part of the Department's long-term SARIR programme.
Omics refers to the collective technologies used to explore the roles, relationships, and actions of the molecules that make up the cells of an organism. Omics is a collection of advanced scientific fields with demonstrated and enormous opportunity to drive discovery and innovation across many economically essential sectors in biotechnology, and it is the core enabling technology for the bioeconomy as envisioned by the DSI.
DIPLOMICS main mission is connecting researchers & world-class Omics facilities, by building a world class Omics infrastructure in South Africa, and enabling access for students and researchers to that infrastructure

The importance of soil biodiversity at the International Colloquium of Soil Zoology in Cape Town
Dr Charlene Janion-Scheepers from the University of Cape Town and Dr Shane Murray, Genomics Coordinator at DIPLOMICS, were front and centre at the first-ever International Colloquium of Soil Zoology (ICSZ) held on African soil. This event marks a significant step forward in the global understanding of soil biodiversity.
Dr Murray highlighted the ongoing work with Oxford Nanopore Technologies as part of the 1KSA initiative, which aims to sequence 1,000 biodiversity genomes in South Africa over the next three years. This work is crucial for soil health, which in turn is essential for food security-a topic at the heart of the ICSZ discussions.
