EASTBIO - The hidden role of acrocentric short arms in genome instability

University of Edinburgh
School of Genetics and Cancer (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
The short arms of acrocentric chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 are among the least understood regions of the human genome. They consist of highly repetitive DNA (rDNA arrays, satellite repeats and segmental duplications), meaning much of their sequence is missing from canonical references like hg38. Read more

Deciphering tick-borne arbovirus neuropathogenesis using human brain and blood-brain barrier models

University of Oxford
Department of Biology
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), like many tick-borne arboviruses, is an emerging RNA virus of growing public health concern across Europe and Asia, with rising incidence driven by the expansion of tick vectors and its recent detection in the UK. Read more

Understanding how host–virus genetic interactions shape immune cell phenotypes

University of Oxford
Department of Biology
Viral infections are ubiquitous in nature and are a major driver of host evolution. The outcome of infection is shaped by interactions between host and viral genomes, yet the mechanisms by which genetic variation in both species influences immune responses remain poorly understood. Read more

Utilising within-host variation of viruses for precision epidemiology: phylogenetics, advanced statistics, modelling, and software engineering

University of Oxford
Department of Biology
Viral outbreaks, for example due to spillovers from one species to another, the emergence and spread of new variants, or the introduction of known viruses into new settings, can be devasting. Read more

Deciphering G-Quadruplex function in transposon DNA nuclear import and transposition

University of Oxford
Department of Biology
Transposons are mobile DNA sequences capable of moving to new genomic locations and can dynamically shape genome evolution. However, the mechanisms that govern their successful integration into host genomes remain poorly understood. Read more

Engineering plant oxygenase enzymes for improved growth and stress response characteristics

University of Oxford
Department of Biology
Population increase needs to be met with increased agricultural productivity. The Green Revolution, which led to major increases in productivity in the 20th century, included breeding and widespread adoption of semidwarf cultivars in crops such as rice, which led to lodging-resistant plants.
