PhD in Manipulating Meiotic Crossover Control in Wheat John Innes Centre in United Kingdom

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 ...

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Evolutionary Genomics of Mimicry in Neotropical Catfishes , hosted by the School of Biological Sciences and supervised by Dr Martin Taylor . This project explores how mimicry evolves in Neotropical Corydoradinae catfishes, using comparative and population genomics to study repeated origins of similar colour patterns across more than 30 mimicry communities in South America. The research asks which genomic regions show divergent selection, whethe...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom, focused on single-cell multi-omics , enhancer biology , and the developmental control of blood and cardiovascular fate . The project investigates how enhancer activity changes as blood, endothelial, and cardiac lineages emerge in the chick embryo. You will combine single-cell RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing to reconstruct gene-regulatory networks, identify candidate enhancers, and study how hematoendothelial progenit...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in historical genomics, ancient DNA, conservation genetics, bioinformatics, evolution, and population genetics . This project, supervised by Dr Anders Bergström at the School of Biological Sciences , focuses on the declining red squirrel in Britain . The research will investigate how historical population decline, invasive grey squirrels, hunting, deforestation, and past translocations from continental Europe have shaped the genetic make-up, ances...
