Biological pathways supporting the formation and function of chromatin (Scholarship)

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

Every cell in our body contains the same DNA yet each cell expresses a different set of genes. These changes in gene expression are heavily influenced by histone proteins, their role in packaging DNA into chromatin and the “epigenetic” information they carry. Read more

Exploring the roles of dynamic atypical protein phosphorylation in cancer

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

Proteins are extensively regulated by dynamic, often reversible post-translational modifications (PTMs). This process allows cells to respond rapidly to environmental factors, be that e.g. Read more

Engineering more water-use efficient crops: functional genomics of CO2 fixation during Crassulacean acid metabolism

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

The world is getting hotter and drier due to climate change, and the human population is growing rapidly. Furthermore, it has been predicted that we will need to increase crop yields by 50 - 70 % by 2050 in order to feed the predicted 9 - 10 billion people. Read more

Why do cancers cells re-express meiotic SYCP1 protein?

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

The aim of meiosis is to generate gametes by recombining the chromosomes and reducing the genome from diploid to haploid. However, in mitosis haploid genome and recombination have catastrophic, oncogenic outcomes. Read more
