One of the best parts of my job is seeing brilliant scientists find a home for their research and thrive with the support around them. Hear from some of our early career group leaders about their experiences of starting their labs.

Who were the ancient Egyptians?

It is expressed in the extraordinary historical and archaeological record, but what about ancestry links to other ancient individuals?

Today we report the successful sequencing of the whole genome of an individual who lived in Egypt about ~4700 years ago.

Marsupial research reveals how mammalian embryos form Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have revealed insight into why embryos erase a key epigenetic mark during early development, suggesting this may have evolved to help form a placenta.

Researchers at the Crick have identified a key step in the development of mammalian embryos, shedding light on how mammals have evolved to generate placentas, among other features.
