Biography
Dr. Dave Jones is a researcher specializing in applying genomics within advanced breeding programs for aquaculture species.
Dave’s primary expertise involves the application of genetic and genomic tools to address research questions with a strong applied aquaculture focus. He has designed and validated numerous commercial single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels across multiple leading platforms for a diverse array of species. Their development and application has allowed the creation of genomic linkage maps, and have enabled links to be drawn between an individual's genotype and phenotypic variance of ecological and commercial importance.
Dave has played a substantial role in developing co-funded ARC and CRC-P genomic research projects at JCU with colleagues within the Centre for Sustainable Tropical Fisheries and Aquaculture (CSTFA). As a result, he has ongoing collaborations with researchers from the University of Sydney; CSIRO at Bribie Island; AGRF in Melbourne; IFREMER in French Polynesia and Montpellier; and Jeju National University, South Korea. In addition, he also has ongoing research projects with aquaculture commercial partners in Broome, Western Australia, and Melbourne, Victoria.
