Cellular mechanisms of equal chromosome segregation and genome stability

University of Southampton School of Biological Sciences

The PhD project will investigate how chromosomes segregate equally in each cell division through epigenetic regulation of the centromere, and how cells respond in stress conditions to maintain genome instability. Read more

Untangling how Shelterin safeguards telomere structure and stability - one molecule at a time

University of Sheffield School of Biosciences

Background. Telomeres solve two problems with linear chromosomes. the end-replication problem, DNA loss from the end of chromosomes every replication cycle; and the end-protection problem, protection of the chromosome ends to prevent chromosome fusions. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Newton, Dr A Pyne

Unlocking the genetic potential of barley by modulating recombination

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology

Barley is a major worldwide crop used for malting and animal feed. However, breeding new varieties is constrained by the frequency of genetic crossovers (1-3 crossovers per chromosome pair) and their distribution (biased towards the chromosome ends) that underpin crop improvement1,2. Read more

Enhancing meiotic recombination in wheat by modulating RECQ helicases

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology

Wheat accounts for 20% of the calories and protein consumed by humans and is the largest crop in the UK, but yields have plateaued and are susceptible to decline due to extreme weather conditions. Read more
