Researchers from the Earlham Institute and The Alan Turing Institute are using AI to examine the relationship between a cell’s structure and function.

LITE2 takes affordable genome sequencing to a new level

The Earlham Institute's improved Low Input, Transposase Enabled (LITE) protocol is a low-cost method for high-throughput whole genome sequencing with reduced DNA input.

Mapping cell diversity with long-read sequencing and single-cell genomics

Our researchers are combining single cell approaches with long read sequencing technologies, unearthing data that reveals the scale and impact of cellular diversity.

Using new technology to explore the tiniest of worlds

Complex microbiomes are everywhere. Our skin, our guts, soil, pond water. All are home to tiny life forms, interacting with each other and going about their business.

Covering vast regions with one long read

A new event will explore the exciting potential of Oxford Nanopore (ONT) sequencing. The technology is widely-used at the Earlham Institute across a range of systems and species.

Realising the potential of engineering biology through the Earlham Biofoundry

Engineering biology has been identified as a critical technology for the UK. Biofoundries will be critical for those hoping to make an impact in this emerging field.

How the latest platforms are scaling-up our impact in aquaculture

Millions of people around the world rely on farmed fish as a critical source of nutrition - and, as our global population grows, so does the need to improve the productivity of aquaculture.

Standout innovation contributes to knowledge exchange

It is not always easy to translate academic research into real-world impact but, this year, Earlham Institute researchers have stood out for their positive contributions.

Collaborating for our future

We can only survive the urgent threats facing humanity by working together to find innovative research solutions.
