A landmark project to sequence the genomes of all 70,000 species of eukaryotic organisms in Britain and Ireland will be on show this summer at one of the largest free science festivals in the UK.

The Earlham Institute has appointed Professor Peter Holland as its new Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Boosting numbers of the once critically endangered pink pigeon may not be enough to save it from extinction in the future, according to a major study on the iconic species.

A computer model could help to reveal how some infectious diseases - including COVID-19 - trigger an overactive immune response in certain patients, which can drive inflammation and lead to serious complications or even death.

People with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) develop the condition due to distinct and different mechanisms, determined by their genetics. Researchers and clinicians from the Quadram Institute, the Earlham Institute, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and University of East Anglia with collaborators in Cambridge, London and Leuven (Belgium), have found that natural genetic variation appears to influence the development of IBD.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia and Earlham Institute have found a link between bacteria and aggressive forms of prostate cancer.

Scientists at the Earlham Institute, Quadram Institute and University of East Anglia on the Norwich Research Park, have developed a new computational biology method to better understand IBD for targeted clinical treatments.

For higher accuracy and more effective microbial diagnostics, researchers at the Earlham Institute have evaluated a new approach to analyse metagenomic samples that may contain low numbers of certain species - helping to prevent crucial genomic information from being overlooked or lost.

Following the UK’s departure from the EU, DEFRA has put into place new legislation to cut bureaucracy for gene editing in plant research.

Scientists at the Earlham Institute, UK, and Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary, have developed a free, downloadable resource to provide researchers with essential information on biological pathways in human and model organisms.
