Phil Ewels

Hi There!

I’m a PhD student doing research at the University of Cambridge, in the UK. I also do website design, and write code.

I have a few other personal sites which may be of interest:

tallphil.co.uk – my blog
tallphilproductions.co.uk – my portfolio

If you’re trying to hunt me down, I’ve put together a list of where I am on the web – if in doubt you can always drop me an e-mail!

What I Do // Web

I’ve been making websites for a number of years, and am fascinated in how the internet is changing the world.

You can see my portfolio on tallphilproductions.co.uk, though it is quite out of date (I’m currently in the middle of changing brands to Customised Web). I’ve also put together a list of links showing my activity across sites on Where I am on the web.

I’m experienced in the common coding languages of the web: PHP, SQL, JavaScript, HTML amongst others, and have recently done a lot of development with WordPress.

What I Do // Science

I work at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, studying for a PhD with the University of Cambridge as a member of Trinity Hall.

I do research into how DNA is organised within cells, and how this relates to cancer-causing events such as chromosomal translocations. To find out more, have a look at my group.

Tools

I have released a few bioinformatic tools that I’ve written for general use on the web:

Cytoband Converter - takes cytogenetic band (ideogram) names for mouse or human and converts them to genomic coordinates, or vice versa.
Sequences – simple, lightweight tool for finding the reverse compliment of DNA or RNA sequences. Also available on github.
Genome RE Sites – script to generate genomic coordinates for the recognition site of any restriction endonuclease in mouse or human.
