Fanny Combe

I am a PhD student on the Norwich Research Park Doctoral Training Partnership (NRPDTP), working in Prof. Anthony Hall’s group. My project focuses on how RNA splicing influences gene expression and diversity in wheat. Using long-read RNA sequencing data and computational approaches, 

I aim to characterise alternative splicing patterns across wheat cultivars to better understand their role in gene regulation and transcript diversity.

Before joining the Earlham Institute, I completed an Honours degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, specialising in Genetics. 

I then obtained a Master’s degree in Genetics, Genomics, Epigenetics and Evolution at the University Paris-Saclay, where I developed a strong interest in transcriptomics and bioinformatics.
