Today in the Academic Armchair we are joined by University of Oxford's Professor of Gene Regulation Jim Hughes.  He talks to us about the fascinating world of the non-coding genome, and how studying the regulatory genome can give an insight into the mechanism of common disease.  Ever wondered how start-up companies can be built from scientific innovations?  Tune in to learn more!
