Robust developmental patterns generated by opposing gradients of mobile small RNAs (SRNAGRAD)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Jul 4, 2016,

Small RNAs are key regulatory molecules and it was recently shown that gradients formed by mobile small RNAs contribute significantly to developmental patterning. Organ polarity is an excellent model to study this newly recognized role of small RNAs. In developing leaves, dorsoventral determinants are expressed in robust and sharply defined domains on the upper (adaxial) or lower (abaxial) side of ...

Biomarkers for post market monitoring of short and long-term effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on animal and human health (GMSAFOOD)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The function of post market monitoring is to further assess possible nutritional and health effects of authorized GM foods on a mixed population of human and animal consumers. Currently, however, little is known about exposure levels, whether adverse effects are predictable, and the occurrence of any unexpected effects following market release of GM foods. Our objective is to identify a panel of a ...
