The new HPC cluster, called Maxwell, is supporting groundbreaking genomics research at the University of Aberdeen.

New research is helping unlock the mystery of how the brain folds as a baby develops in the womb – a process critical to healthy brain function.

Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research have uncovered new information about vital structures inside cells which are responsible for organizing our DNA.

Scientists from the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI), the same UC Berkeley group that rapidly popped up a state-of-the-art COVID-19 testing laboratory in March, are now trialing a quicker way to obtain patient samples: through saliva.

Analyzing epigenetic and transcriptional regulation in structural cells, researchers found widespread activity of immune genes, suggesting that structural cells are deeply involved in the body’s response to pathogens.

Researchers have uncovered new insights into the impact of stochasticity in gene expression, offering new evolutionary clues into organismal design principles in the face of physical constraints.

Researchers have discovered a novel pathology that occurs in several human neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington’s disease, and could be used to improve their diagnosis and treatment.

Scientists have uncovered the genetic basis of aromatase deficiency – a rare metabolic disorder – using next-generation sequencing, paving the way towards precision medicine.

A study published June 29 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has drawn attention to a new strain of the H1N1 virus, known as G4 EA H1N1, with report describing the strain as having "pandemic potential".

New research has exposed silenced sites within “jumping genes” that could one day drive the development of environmentally resistant crops.
