deepen discovery — trawl traits — curate collections

For plants, animals, microbes and other species endemic or relevant to Australia, the Australian Reference Genome Atlas (ARGA) locates and aggregates genomic data, including:

• reference genome assemblies • genome annotations • population and variant sets • DNA barcodes • coding and non-coding DNA sequences • raw genomics data

Search by species, higher classification, data type or ecological and phenotypic traits. Get started by entering any word in the search bar below, or scroll down to browse pre-filtered groupings.

Note: these statistics summarise the content indexed within ARGA. The values relate to the species deemed relevant to Australia (either by endemicity or economic and social value), and for repositories that are indexed by ARGA. The values may not be indicative of global values for all research.

Taxonomic composition

Number of taxa per rank, coloured by kingdom

Each bar shows the total count of taxa at that rank, with colours representing the proportional contribution of each kingdom. This graph highlights both the scope of data at each taxonomic level and the shifting kingdom comparison across the breadth of the Australian eukaryotic biodiversity.
