Soil microbiomes drive critical functions in agro-ecosystems, including soil fertility, crop productivity and stress tolerance. Previous work demonstrates that agricultural practices influence the link between soil structure and microbiome functionality. System-level agricultural management practices can induce structural alterations, thereby changing the...

"We are doing research to improve the health of people who get a kind of chronic liver disease called Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients who develop NAFLD may go on to develop more serious form of liver disease called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can result in liver fibrosis and liver cancer. Ultimately these patients may n...

The global life science industry spends billions of dollars annually on research innovation. This activity generates huge volumes of data e.g. clinical, omics with the potential to generate powerful innovation insights to drive business decisions, but dicovering and understanding data assets can account for up to 80 percent of the cost of an eResearch stu...

In this project the performance of a bioinformatics tool kit will be evaluated within an oil seed rape breeding programme. We will test the tool kit on large data sets to identify molecular genetic markers associated with oil content. The project will help Eagle Genomics to access new markets in crop breeding.

High-throughput technologies, such as microarrays or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), are revolutionising life science research. These technologies are already having an impact on plant and animal breeding, research into crop protection and more importantly in human health. The cost of generating these data is falling, but the ongoing cost of supplying l...
