It’s all about DNA… decoding
This is a place for AGRF hosted R Shiny applications:
FindMySNP allows users to check the presence or absence of SNP rsIDs across major Illumina microarrays, including the EPICv2 methylation chip. You can also search array annotations by gene symbol and compare gene coverage across multiple arrays.
FindMyTax not an ATO application. It searches bacteria name in taxonomy annotation for Silva reference database used for 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing. Matched sequences can be aligned with 16S primer and downloaded in FASTA format.It can answer questions like “Is my bacteria is in Silva database?” or “What identificatiuon can be done with the default primers?”.
CRC TiME Data Browser This application allows users
to explore a 16S rDNA dataset from soil microbiome samples collected at
mining re-vegetation sites. It provides access to full experimental
metadata, UMAP-based clustering options, and differential abundance
analysis based on user-selected contrasts. ⚠️ Due to a data embargo,
access to this application is restricted. Please contact us if you would
like to request access.
MicrobialLandScape This
application allows users to upload output from AGRF’s DivPro pipeline
(relative abundance CSV files) and integrate their data with the
Australian Microbiome Initiative (AMI) reference dataset. It performs:
machine learning predictions for soil physicochemical properties,
dimensionality reduction with UMAP, annotation with the National
Vegetation Information System (NVIS v7) and Australian Land Use System
(ALUM v8). Individual sample reports can be generated as self-contained
HTML files summarizing key findings. 🚧 This application is still under
development but is currently open access.
Visitor counter. A small utility app that extracts and visualizes visit traces from website log files.

The AGRF Bioinformatics team brings extensive expertise across a broad spectrum of biological analyses, with a strong focus on microbiome and genomic sequencing, population studies, and genome assemblies. We manage large-scale data integration and workflow automation, and develop intuitive visualization dashboards alongside robust data hosting solutions—enabling researchers to explore, interpret, and act on complex biological datasets with confidence.
Senior Developer
Rust Turakulov is a bioinformatician with strong experience in data analysis, workflow automation, and tool development across Perl, Shell, SQL, and R. He has worked on clustering methods for genetic data, built genotyping pipelines using GATK and other tools, and developed automated workflows for bacterial 16S analysis. His projects include tumor classification using multiomics data, scalable genomic data analysis, and user-facing data portals. Lately, his focus has shifted toward integrating large public and private datasets and building interactive R-Shiny interfaces for data exploration.

Melbourne Genomics co funded two projects with AGRF to establish MVP for data tracking platforms. The scope for those project described in below documents:
The AWS instances supporting the projects have been shut down to reduce operational costs. However, all documentation and code remain available. If there is interest, either project can be reinstated within a reasonable time frame.
