Eukaryotic unicellular organism biology – systems biology of the control of cell growth and proliferation (UNICELLSYS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
The overall objective of UNICELLSYS is a quantitative understanding of fundamental characteristics of eukaryotic unicellular organism biology: how cell growth and proliferation are controlled and coordinated by extracellular and intrinsic stimuli. Achieving an understanding of the principles with which bio-molecular systems function requires integrating quantitative experimentation with simulation ...

European Life-science Infrastructure for Biological Information (ELIXIR)
Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"The objective of the ELIXIR preparatory phase is to produce a memorandum or memoranda of understanding between organisations (government agencies, research councils, funding bodies and scientific organisations) within the member states, with the purpose of constructing a world class and globally positioned European infrastructure for the management and integration of information in the life scien ...

Metagenomics of the Human Intestinal Tract (MetaHIT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
A detailed understanding of human biology will require not only knowledge of the human genome but also of the human metagenome, defined here as the ensemble of the genomes of human-associated microorganisms. Our proposal focuses on the microorganisms of the gut, which are particularly abundant and complex and have an important role for human health and well-being. We shall implement and integrate ...

Developmental effects of environment on reproductive health (DEER)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
"The multidisciplinary research teams in this consortium have played lead roles in establishing that fetal and childhood periods are vulnerable to environmental disruption leading to common reproductive disorders. This proposal will investigate: (1) connections between normal/abnormal perinatal reproductive development and maturation of reproductive function at puberty and in adulthood; (2) system ...

Copy Number Variation and Endophenotypes in Psychiatric Disorders (PsychGene)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
A genome-wide copy number variant (CNV) association study for schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (BP) and major depression (MD) will be conducted at deCODE genetics using a discovery sample of 2400 affected (800 SZ, 600 BP, 1,000 MD) and 20,000 controls. CNV data will be generated from the newly released HumanCNV370-Duo array designed by deCODE genetics and Illumina. In this array there are abou ...
