Researchers from the Earlham Institute and The Alan Turing Institute are using AI to examine the relationship between a cell’s structure and function.

Our researchers are combining single cell approaches with long read sequencing technologies, unearthing data that reveals the scale and impact of cellular diversity.

Complex microbiomes are everywhere. Our skin, our guts, soil, pond water. All are home to tiny life forms, interacting with each other and going about their business.

Ashleigh Lister is a Senior Research Assistant in the Macaulay group. She is an expert in the field of plant spatial transcriptomics. In this technical article, she shares her insights, some top tips, and broad approaches to applying spatial transcriptomics in plants.

The case for long reads, the benefits of cell atlases, spatial transcriptomics, and genomics at the intersection of microbial communities were among the key themes from the 2024 Norwich Single-Cell Symposium, held at the Earlham Institute.

In July 2009, a new national genome centre was unveiled in Norwich. It was opened by the genomics pioneer Prof Sir John Sulston and Sir Richard Jewson, the then Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, with a mission to “further the UK’s capacity in genomics”.
