Genetic rewiring could have driven an evolutionary explosion in the shapes, sizes and adaptations of cichlid fish, in East Africa's answer to Darwin's Galapagos finches.
The Earlham Institute will collaborate with Colorifix to develop the next generation of sustainable dyes, thanks to new funding from the latest round of Innovate UK Smart Grants.
Earlham Institute researchers have applied expertise in genomics and bioinformatics to give us the most detailed insight into wheat genetics yet. The findings, published in Nature, will help ensure food security for years to come.
A £2m funding award will help an international team, led by scientists at the Earlham Institute (EI), to understand and prevent the spread of non-viral gastroenteritis, potentially saving lives in parts of the world where access to clean water is limited.
Earlham Institute Researchers have contributed to the launch of 240 mammal genomes, the first ever consortium-driven genomics project that allows anyone to access the publicly available data prior to analysis. The resource - which includes 120 completely new genome sequences - will vastly accelerate our understanding of human health and conservation genomics.
