Genomics explores the comprehensive genetic blueprint within each cell of living organisms, forming the foundation of numerous research initiatives in biology, medicine, and healthcare. Our investigations delve into genomic architecture, functionality, and evolutionary processes, leveraging advanced high-throughput methods like next-generation sequencing. The PhD/MPhil Genomics program offers opportunities to pursue groundbreaking research projects that push the boundaries of genomic science. At Manchester, world-renowned genomics specialists and state-of-the-art facilities support your investigative work. Our resources facilitate genome sequencing for individual or population-level studies, genome editing, single-cell analysis, and high-throughput functional tests including RNA-Seq for profiling cellular RNA content and epigenomic studies examining chromatin alterations. These cutting-edge approaches generate vast datasets that reveal unprecedented insights into how genetic information dictates cellular, tissue, and organismal functions. Doctoral candidates in our genomics program employ these innovative tools and data to address critical challenges across biological, medical, and health research domains.
