What it does: based in Swindon, York, Cambridge and Portsmouth, the teams undertake analytical field survey extensive landscape survey. We apply close observation, critical analysis and accurate measurement based on wide experience to support carefully considered interpretations. By doing this we help people appreciate the richness of place, make the obscure clear and encourage all to appreciate, value and protect historic places. We work with relatively small complexes of earthworks and ruined...

The Biorepository is a state of the art laboratory based in the centre of Addenbrooke’s Hospital, providing research support for studies and clinical trials locally and internationally. It operates under the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge. It has expertise in supporting small research projects through to large multi-site national studies where it receives, processes, stores, retrieves blood and other research material. The facility has some of the most advanced automated...

Description: InterMine provides a software platform to integrate disparate biological data sources and query them effectively, enabling researchers to run analyses across data sets that otherwise might not have been cross-queryable. InterMine is open source, so any research group dealing in similar data sets can re-use it for their own data. A registry of existing InterMine instances can be found at http://registry.intermine.org.

Support: The core InterMine team in Cambridge provides support...

UH HPC provides high-performance computing facilities to research staff and students at UH and to a community of collaborators nationally and internationally, including externally funded consortia such as LOFAR-UK and WEAVE. It aims to facilitate both medium-scale HPC requirements (with around 5,000 compute cores) and high-throughput data processing (with around 2 PB of attached fast storage). Applications include computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, 'big...

The Museum of Classical Archaeology is home to one of the finest surviving collections of plaster casts of the antique in the world.

PomBase is a comprehensive Model Organism DataBase (MOD) database for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe or fission yeast). Fission yeast is a eukaryotic model species used to study many cell biological processes relevant to humans (for example: cytokinesis, DNA replication, cell cycle, gene expression, membrane biology,  and chromosome segregation).  Over 75% of its 5000 proteins are conserved to human, mainly those which are critical to maintaining a single cell. Over 1400 ...
