The development of genetic profiles of invading plants can provide insight towards a better understanding of niche utilization. Recent advances in sequencing techniques have greatly facilitated genetic assessment and profiling. Here we review our recent studies on selected Australian Cucurbitaceae and Boraginaceae to demonstrate the application of genetic sequencing across a selection of invasive Australian plants.
