Epigenetic ageing and calorie restriction in an insect model system

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
This project will help establish an insect model for epigenetic ageing, by analysing the effects of calorie restriction on chronological and epigenetic aging in an important insect model, Nasonia vitripennis, extending our discovery of an epigenetic clock in Nasonia. . Read more

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

Dissecting the interplay of extracellular vesicle signalling and tryptophan metabolism in schizophrenia pathogenesis

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
L-kynurenine (KYN) and kynurenic acid (KYNA) are metabolites of the kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan degradation and have been found to be increased in the brains of patients with schizophrenia. Read more

Understanding the roles of triacylglycerol in modulating mycobacterial growth and biophysical properties

University of Leicester Department of Respiratory Sciences
Mycobacteria contain more lipid than any other bacteria. In addition to a characteristically lipid-rich cell envelope, mycobacteria can accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) as cytoplasmic lipid bodies (LBs). Read more

The Evolution of Vision in Mosquitoes

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
Background . Due to their capacity to transmit viruses such as Zika and parasites like Plasmodium (the causative agent of malaria), mosquitos are regarded by the World Health Organization as one of the most lethal organisms on our planet (WHO | Global vector control response 2017–2030, 2020).
