How to Join?

You may be interested in joining the DArT network of collaborators to apply DArT to your species of interest, to further develop and adapt DArTsoft or DArTdb to your requirements, or to data-mine the rapidly-increasing set of DArT data.

As part of the Network development we receive visitors at our facility, primarily for establishing DArT for new species or developing new applications. Those who come are compensated by Canberra's weather (approx. 250 days per year of sunshine) and natural surroundings; we are less than 1 km from Lake Burley Griffin and its beaches and frequently spot kangaroos, possums and other wildlife around our building.

We spend a lot of our time developing IT tools. If you are interested in collaborating on software development we can work together without you leaving your office. DArTdb, for example, was substantially developed in Poland. We plan to release our software under an Open Source-type of license to distribute it broadly among DArT Network members.

The volume of data generated by DArT is increasing at an exponential rate. More than 2 terabyte of data has been generated so far, providing ample opportunities for serious statistical explorations. Data-mining approaches could be explored through a visit to Canberra or via remote access to our data.
