Epigenetics

In biology, epigenetics is the study of heritable traits, or a stable change of cell function, that happen without changes to the DNA sequence.

See Neil Brockdorff and Epigenetics

European Molecular Biology Organization

The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) is a professional, non-profit organization of more than 1,800 life scientists.

Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences

Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) is an award for medical scientists who are judged by the UK Academy of Medical Sciences for the "excellence of their science, their contribution to medicine and society and the range of their achievements". Neil Brockdorff and Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences are fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences (United Kingdom).

See Neil Brockdorff and Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences

Fellow of the Royal Society

Fellowship of the Royal Society (FRS, ForMemRS and HonFRS) is an award granted by the Fellows of the Royal Society of London to individuals who have made a "substantial contribution to the improvement of natural knowledge, including mathematics, engineering science, and medical science".

See Neil Brockdorff and Fellow of the Royal Society

Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology

Fellowship of the Royal Society of Biology (FRSB), previously Fellowship of the Society of Biology (FSB), is an award and fellowship granted to individuals that the Royal Society of Biology has adjudged to have made a "prominent contribution to the advancement of the biological sciences, and has gained no less than five years of experience in a position of senior responsibility". Neil Brockdorff and fellow of the Royal Society of Biology are fellows of the Royal Society of Biology.

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See Neil Brockdorff and Gene

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype.

See Neil Brockdorff and Gene expression

Gene silencing

Gene silencing is the regulation of gene expression in a cell to prevent the expression of a certain gene.

See Neil Brockdorff and Gene silencing

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See Neil Brockdorff and Genome

Hampstead School

Hampstead School is a large comprehensive school in the London Borough of Camden, England.

See Neil Brockdorff and Hampstead School

Histone

In biology, histones are highly basic proteins abundant in lysine and arginine residues that are found in eukaryotic cell nuclei and in most Archaeal phyla.

See Neil Brockdorff and Histone

Nature (journal)

Nature is a British weekly scientific journal founded and based in London, England.

See Neil Brockdorff and Nature (journal)

Nature Cell Biology

Nature Cell Biology is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Nature Portfolio.

See Neil Brockdorff and Nature Cell Biology

Oxford University Press

Oxford University Press (OUP) is the publishing house of the University of Oxford.

See Neil Brockdorff and Oxford University Press

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Royal Society.

See Neil Brockdorff and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule that is essential for most biological functions, either by performing the function itself (non-coding RNA) or by forming a template for the production of proteins (messenger RNA).

See Neil Brockdorff and RNA

Royal Society

The Royal Society, formally The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, is a learned society and the United Kingdom's national academy of sciences.

Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow

Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellowships are research fellowships awarded to scientists who are recognised by the Wellcome Trust as having "international standing with an established track record in research at the highest level." Awards provide salary and research programme funding in full for seven years initially, and may then be renewed with the host institution contributing 50%. Neil Brockdorff and Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow are Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellows.

X chromosome

The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in many organisms, including mammals, and is found in both males and females.

See Neil Brockdorff and X chromosome

X-inactivation

X-inactivation (also called Lyonization, after English geneticist Mary Lyon) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome is inactivated in therian female mammals.

See Neil Brockdorff and X-inactivation

XIST

Xist (X-inactive specific transcript) is a non-coding RNA transcribed from the X chromosome of the placental mammals that acts as a major effector of the X-inactivation process.

See Neil Brockdorff and XIST

XY sex-determination system

The XY sex-determination system is a sex-determination system used to classify many mammals, including humans, some insects (Drosophila), some snakes, some fish (guppies), and some plants (Ginkgo tree).
