About the Research groups
Having more than 25 groups at EBI, only abt 5 or more are research groups.
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Groups/
Research group includes Bertone group, Luscombe group, Huber group, Thornton group and more.
Firstly, I ll talk about the Huber group, it's research focuses on the transcription of gene and the binding of protein and DNA with DNA microarray.
This group will provide aid in the understanding of functional genomics data.
The next group I ll talk about is the Luscombe group. Which focus on genomic analysis of regulatory system.
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/luscombe/
This group actually studies on how the biology of an organism look like by investigating on the cells of the different species, the expression of its gene, the production of protein, etc.

Current status of the research:
- Provide graphical models for understanding the relationship of the regulatory network.
- Identifying the vulnerabilities of the regulatory network that is prone to diseases.
- How the transcriptional regulatory network interact with other cellular components.
- Analysing transcription factors in human genome.
- Complex bacteria behaviour
Future enhancements:
- Advancing analysis techniques and better understand regulatory network
- Consolidation of their research in bacteria and organism.
- Interacting with research groups performing genome-scale experiments.
Lastly, about Thornton group, they research on how biology works at molecular level, this has a very broad research.

One of the many research in this group is the enzyme activity, which is study of how these enzymes work, their functions, and how they are evolved.
