Human genetics tells us about the similarities and differences between people - in our physical and psychological traits, and in our susceptibility to disorders and diseases - but our DNA can also reveal the broader story of our evolution, ancestry and history. Genetics is a new The Birney group studies between-individual differences in both Japanese rice fish (Medaka) and humans. We also explore novel algorithms in sequence methods, in particular around nanopore technology. We are interested in the interplay of natural DNA sequence variation with basic biology from molecular and cellular processes to complex Ewan Birney is a bioinformatician who has made significant contributions to the analysis of genomes. Through his development of innovative bioinformatics and computational biology tools, researchers around the world are able to predict and annotate regions of interest in DNA with speed and confidence.
