DNA methylation

DNA methylation is one of the ways cells can control which genes are active, and at what time.

DNA, chromosomes and cells

The cells in your body contain DNA, packaged tightly within chromosomes.

Effects of a genetic variant

Why is it that the same genetic variant can have different effects for different people?

Filtering and analysing genomic variants

Genomic sequencing data needs to be processed through a series of manual and automated steps.

CRISPR-Cas9 has been adapted for use as a cut-and-paste tool to edit DNA in the laboratory.

Genomic testing

Watch how sequencing, bioinformatics and analysis come together in the genomic testing process.

Genomics through a lifetime

A person’s genetic information generally doesn’t change over time, so the record that DNA sequencing provides can be accessed by a person at any stage of life

How DNA is passed from generation to generation

When a sperm and egg combine during fertilisation, they form a single cell that contains a person's full set of DNA
