A new study from the Segal group uncovers the structural basis for intrinsic asymmetry in the spindle pathway under cyclin-dependent kinase control Cell division gives rise to two progeny cells carrying copies of the progenitor's genetic material. In so call symmetric divisions, daughter cells also share the progenitor's...

We would like to offer our warmest congratulations to Gos Micklem who has been promoted to Professor in the most recent round of the Senior Academic Promotions exercise. Gos will be the Professor of Computational and Molecular Biology. The formal announcement is listed in the Cambridge University Reporter, 24 June 2020.

Scientists from the Department of Genetics, in collaboration with the Hubrecht Institute in The Netherlands, have developed a new model to study an early stage of human development, using human embryonic stem cells. The model resembles some key elements of an embryo at around 18-21 days old and allows the researchers to...

Cambridge researchers have contributed to an international study of human genetic diversity and ancestry in 54 indigenous populations across six continents. The study, published this week in Science , clarifies the genetic relationships between human populations around the world, including shared ancestry from ancient...
