PhD in Engineering Fitness in Disease-Resistant Crops Earlham Institute in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in DNA replication origins, genome language models, and synthetic biology at the Earlham Institute, Norwich, United Kingdom. This interdisciplinary project explores how DNA replication origins are encoded and regulated in genomes, and how artificial intelligence can be used to design new genetic elements that control replication. The work combines computational biology, genomics, synthetic biology, machine learning, genome engineering, CRISPR-based genome editing, next-generation...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, United Kingdom: Manipulating meiotic crossover control in wheat . This project sits at the intersection of genetics , genomics , plant cell biology , molecular genetics , bioinformatics , and quantitative genetics , with a strong applied focus on improving wheat breeding. The research asks whether meiotic crossover patterns in wheat can be deliberately altered to increase recombination in regions of the genome that are normally difficult to br...

PhD opportunity at Quadram Institute Bioscience, Norwich, United Kingdom This project asks how fungi and bacteria communicate in cross-kingdom microbial interactions, focusing on Candida albicans and Fusobacterium nucleatum . The work is based in the Buscaino and Juge laboratories at the Quadram Institute and sits within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP). The research combines microbiology, genetics, genomics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, molecular biolo...

University of Warwick is advertising a Research Fellow position in the School of Life Sciences in Coventry, United Kingdom . The project focuses on plant architecture , especially the regulation of axillary meristem formation and cereal crop development in wheat and other grasses. The research aims to identify upstream components and key regulatory factors in a newly discovered transcriptional pathway, using computational , transcriptomic , molecular genetic , epigenetic , and phenomics approach...
