Myles Axton has a degree in genetics from Cambridge University and got his Ph.D. from Imperial College, London in David M. Glover's cell cycle genetics research group. He continued with postdoctoral research at the University of Dundee, and then moved to the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research to study DNA replication in Drosophila development with Terry L. Orr-Weaver. From 1995 to 2003 he was a University Lecturer in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow of Balliol College. He joined Nature Genetics in 2003.

Alan Packer obtained his Ph.D. from Cornell University Medical College under the supervision of Rosemary Bachvarova, studying the classical mouse mutants Dominant white spotting and Steel, and the role of the c-kit signaling pathway in germ cell development. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Debra Wolgemuth at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he worked on the transcriptional regulation of Hox genes during mouse embryogenesis. After an additional year at Columbia as an associate research scientist, he joined the journal in 2000, and served as acting editor in 2002-2003.
