A new, state-of-the-art genome sequencing platform will put Exeter on the cutting edge of research into the genomic basis of health and disease.
The Illumina NovaSeq sequencer has just been installed at the University of Exeter, part-funded by over £600,000 from the Wellcome Trust. The investment represents a significant upgrade to Exeter’s ability to sequence whole genomes faster and in much greater depth than before.
The award has also enabled Exeter to invest in technology for profiling the way genes are expressed – or “switched on” - in individual cells. It will enable...

WHILE Christmas is a time for giving and sharing, it can also be used as an opportunity to give to charity.
And for people who love Devon and care about its communities, a donation to the charity LOVE Devon is a way to give back to the county, embrace the true meaning of Christmas and help those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
LOVE Devon is the trading and fundraising arm of Devon Communities Together, which works with a very broad range of people, from rural and coastal communities to more urban centres; people like you, or people you might know.
If you want a festive feast with a flavour of the Middle East, step into Exeter’s Comptoir Libanais this Christmas.
You won’t hear Slade, Wizard or Mariah (thankfully) and the décor is refreshingly tinsel-free.
What is guaranteed however, is a tongue-tingling table full of treats.
The mixed mezze starter is a meal in itself and comes with two vegan and two meat dishes.
The vine leaves stuffed with rice, pine nuts and pomegranate seeds were surprisingly tasty, fresh and fragrant, as was the Aubergine with Tahina, which was laced with garlic parsley and Sumac...
