Genome informatics
The Genome informatics group, under Dr Richard Durbin, works on various types of sequence and variation informatics, mostly in one way or another involving evolutionary analysis.

Apart from human genome resequencing, projects that Richard is connected to include:
- the SGRP yeast sequence variation and population genomics project;
- the TreeFam database of animal gene families;
- the Ensembl resource for vertebrate genome annotation;
- the WormBase model organism database for C. elegans;
- the MitoCheck study of mitosis regulation in human cells;
- the Pfam database of protein domain families; and
- the ACEDB genome database.
- 1000 Genomes Project, a deep catalogue of human genetic variation.
- SGRP, Saccharomyces Genome Resequencing Project.
- WormBase is the repository of mapping, sequencing and phenotypic information for C. elegans and several related nematodes. It also contains large amounts of data from manually curated papers and genome wide studies.
- TreeFam, tree families database.
- Margarita, inferring genealogies from population genotype data and using these to map disease loci.
- MAQ, software for mapping short sequencing reads
