Before we adopt any new technology we must ensure it is suitable for our lands, our native species and our people. This four-part research programme delves into different molecular technologies and what they might look like in a New Zealand context. \r \r *Unless otherwise specified under individual resources, this work is shared CC-BY.* \r \r **Gene technologies and our environment – a national conversation**\r \r This social research team has partnered with Te Tira Whakamātaki and is engaging with people to talk about the role genetic technologies may play in their visions for the future of environmental conservation in Aotearoa New Zealand. \r \r **Leaders:** Marie McEntee (University of Auckland) & Fabien Medvecky (University of Otago)\r \r \r \r **RNA interference (RNAi) for Varroa mites**\r \r The Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) was first found in Aotearoa in 2000 and has now spread throughout the country, with the exception of the Chatham Islands. The mites parasitise honey bees – increasing virus transmission, causing parasitic mite syndrome and the eventual death of the colony. Current Varroa control usually involves the use of miticides, which can have non-target effects and lead to resistance within the mite population. \r \r This research team is investigating the fesibility of using RNAi to control Varroa mites in honey bee hives in Aotearoa. Finding a species-specific control would reduce or eliminate the need for miticides, reducing risk to the wider environment. \r \r The team is also looking at social and cultural perspectives of RNAi technology: running a workshop, funding a Master’s thesis on the topic and developing communication tools to convey the benefits and risks. \r \r **Leaders:** Ocean Mercier, Phil Lester & Symon Palmer (Victoria University of Wellington)\r \r \r \r **A national DNA reference library**\r \r Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection can be a useful tool in both the biosecurity and biodiversity spaces, but only if there is a reference DNA library that can help tell you what you’ve found. Previous research has uncovered huge gaps in our ‘library’ in Aotearoa, which prevents us using this technology to it’s fullest extent. \r \r The National DNA reference library team is working towards delivering a White Paper to government that provides an investment case for developing a national DNA reference library. This library would be founded on and governed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi. \r \r This mahi includes reviewing how such libraries work overseas, running a wānanga series to discuss how this might translate to Aotearoa, and working with Te Rōpū Rangapūtanga Tiriti (Manaaki Whenua’s Te Tiriti Partnership Group for collections and databases) and SING to work out the logistics of how a library might operate. \r \r For additional information and webinar recordings, please see Te Tiriti-guided national DNA reference library wānanga series, hosted by Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research.\r \r **Leaders:** Manpreet Dhami & Holden Hohaia (Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research)\r \r \r \r **RNA interference (RNAi) for myrtle rust**\r \r *Austropuccina psidii* was found in Aotearoa in 2017 and has been spreading throughout the country ever since. When the pathogen is blown by the wind onto a myrtle plant it can cause myrtle rust. This disease is already causing localised extinctions of some of our native species and is threatening many others. \r \r The RNAi for myrtle rust team is aiming to demonstrate a proof-of-concept that RNAi targeting putative pathogenicity genes of *Austropuccinia psidii* will prevent myrtle rust development. This goal was inspired by work in Australia, which showed the same process targeting house-keeping genes can reduce or prevent myrtle rust development. By targeting putative pathogenicity genes, our scientists are hoping to develop a method that carries less risk of non-target effects. \r \r **Leader:** Grant Smith (Plant and Food Research)""" ; dct:identifier "7f011462-5f50-4c6a-aa7f-a5171d9becab" ; dct:issued "2024-03-24T22:26:43.800296"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-09-24T22:08:38.322886"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:publisher ; dct:title "Molecular Technologies" ; dcat:distribution , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Online quick-fire presentation from Crazy & Ambitious 4: Dialogue on complex socio-environmental issues\r \r **April 2024**\r \r Online quick-fire presentation from Crazy & Ambitious 4: Dialogue on complex socio-environmental issues, with Marie McEntee, University of Auckland.""" ; dct:issued "2024-08-12T03:37:21.337371"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-08-12T03:37:21.337371"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "WEBINAR: C&A4 Dialogue on complex issues" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Genetic Technologies and our environment - A public deliberation###\r \r **March 2024**\r \r How do you engage New Zealanders on important and complex issues, and encourage conversation, particularly around new technology advances to\r address environmental problems and the decline in biodiversity?""" ; dct:format "PDF" ; dct:issued "2024-03-24T22:30:47.764085"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-03-24T22:30:47.764085"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "BRIEF: A Public deliberation" ; dcat:accessURL ; dcat:byteSize 2092989.0 ; dcat:mediaType "application/pdf" . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Online presentation from Crazy & Ambitious 4 (Day 2): Te Tiriti-guided national DNA reference library###\r \r **April 2024**\r \r Online presentation from Crazy & Ambitious 4: Te Tiriti-guided national DNA reference library, with Manpreet Dhami, from Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research. \r \r Part of the presentation, Co-design for community surveillance, with Te Poari Newton, Stevee Raureti, Brayden Hohaia, and Serene Ratu, from Kāwai Kaimai.""" ; dct:issued "2024-08-13T00:05:11.520177"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-08-13T00:05:11.520177"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "WEBINAR: C&A4 Te Tiriti-guided national DNA reference library" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Wananga 3: Database architecture, process, and pathways###\r \r **July 2023**\r \r **Wānanga 3: Database architecture, process, and pathways. **\r **Te Tiriti-guided national DNA reference library wānanga series**\r \r **Facilitators: Dr David Medyckyj-Scott (Manaaki Whenua) & Nick Spencer (Manaaki Whenua)**\r \r Databases, metadata, access control and security, with associated governance and processes are key components that enable DNA data.
