A healthy gut might well be the key to a long and healthy life. But with trillions of bacteria and hundreds of species of microbe all interacting with your gut in unique and interdependent ways, understanding gut health is a vast and complex challenge.

Machine learning can help us extract meaning from the vast amounts of data associated with modern research and hugely increases the scope for novel discovery. In this guest blog, two of our PhD researchers cover five machine learning essentials that bioinformaticians need to know.

So you want to be a bioinformatics data scientist, huh? Perhaps learn a little bit of machine learning? Here are ten things you should know before you start your data science journey.

No, they’re not taking over the world. But robots are taking lots of pictures, helping us do farming more precisely.

Working at the intersection of technology and biology, Dr Yuxuan Lan is bringing her wealth of experience in machine learning to the analysis of complex genomes - developing real time analysis of long reads from the Oxford Nanopore MinION.

To celebrate National Coding Week, we ask some of our bioinformaticians here at EI why they code.
