In this case study we talk to Leon, a PhD student in the Department of Microbes, Infection and Microbiomes, who is using bioinformatics of microbes that encompass the human gut microbiome. The human gut is inhabited by trillions of microbial cells and most of those cells have very important roles in human health. My work … Continue reading “BEAR helps delve into the infant gut and malnutrition”

Using BEAR to peel back the layers on potato genetics
In this case study we talk to Jack, a PhD student in Biosciences, who is using bioinformatics to understand plant genetics. I am a PhD student working in plant sciences supervised by Dr Lindsey Compton. My research focuses on using bioinformatics to understand plant genetics. Canopy architecture traits, like height and area, impact photosynthesis, drought … Continue reading “Using BEAR to peel back the layers on potato genetics”
