Genome biology
Genome biology seeks to understand how genetic information is organised and utilised within the cell, and how this underpins both normal physiology and disease.
The Bristol approach emphasises the dynamic nature of the genome, focusing on chromatin structure, gene regulation and RNA biology, and integrating these with advances in genomics and computation.
By linking molecular mechanisms to cellular behaviour and organismal phenotypes, this work provides a framework for understanding how variation in the genome contributes to development, adaptation and pathology.
It also connects naturally with strengths in bioinformatics and population-level analysis, enabling a continuum from molecular insight to systems-level understanding.
