New research tracks how cells prepare gene regulatory decisions that will define their fate during the earliest stages of human development. The study reconstructs a timeline of chromosome folding tha...

Around the world, governments are demanding that research funding follow broader political priorities. They should be careful what they wish for.

Genome Biology is calling for submissions to our Collection on enhancer-promoter interactions. Enhancer–promoter interactions are central to the regulation ...

If we want to ‘stop the boats’, we need to stop the BS when it comes to what creates refugees, and how to respond to them, says Labour MP Stella Creasy

Financial restrictions oblige funders to reject vast numbers of sound proposals. Why not retain them for other funders to consider, asks Mikhail Spivakov

We have two core PhD programmes - traditional and transdisciplinary. Our PhD students are registered with Imperial and are embedded in our dedicated research facility.

In primed human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) resembling post-implantation epiblast, numerous lineage-specific enhancers assume the poised chromatin state, co-marked by H3K4me1 and Polycomb-associate...

The British thinker is an advocate of collective progress and laments our contemporary individualism. In an interview with EL PAÍS, he says that there is value in idealism, even when it is absurd
