Phylogeography and somatic evolution of cancer tumor cells (PHYLOCANCER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

"By far, most evolutionary research has focused on the changes that occur in the germline of individuals across generations, within and between species. For different reasons, much less attention has been given to the process of change within the somatic line of a multicellular individual. The formation of cancer tumors due to uncontrolled cell proliferation is one of the most prominent forms of s ...

Fish Speciation and the Origin of Marine Biodiversity: A Comparative Genomics Approach (FishSpeciationGenome)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Speciation, or the evolutionary process by which new species arise, is among the most controversial topics in evolutionary biology. The presence or absence of gene flow between incipient species occupies a central role in this discussion. The conventional view states that there is no gene flow during speciation and that genomes are cohesive units. The recently proposed Genic View of Speciation (GV ...

Towards sustainable modes of urban and peri-urban food provisioning (SUPURBFOOD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Short food supply chains have been advocated as a means of rural development, as they improve the position of primary producers in the value chain. In this proposal we look at short supply chains from the perspective of urban rather than rural development. Short supply chains can play a role in addressing urban problems such as climate change, obesity, storm water control, etc.Short food supply ch ...
