SITE-SPECIFIC DNA REPLICATION PERTURBATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION (REPBLOCK)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2018,
"Challenges to the stable maintenance of the human genome can come from both endogenous and exogenoussources. However, one of the major threats to genome stability occurs during normal DNA metabolism. Thegenome is particularly susceptible to perturbation during the S-phase of the cell cycle when DNA replicationoccurs. This is because DNA replication forks can encounter chemical adducts, DNA second ...

Molecular mechanisms underlying plant miRNA action (Micromecca)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-22 nt non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post transcriptionally via base pairing to complementary target mRNAs. They have fundamental importance for development and stress adaptation in plants and animals. Although a molecular frame work for miRNA biogenesis, degradation and action has been established, many aspects of this important gene regulatory pathway rem ...

Development of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes for the Chemical Manufacturing Industries (P4FIFTY)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
The objective of the P4FIFTY project is to deliver a trans-European network of industrially oriented white biotechnologists fully trained in the application of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) for application in the chemical manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries. This willinvolve academic groups investigating P450 diversity exploration from the wild type enzymes and their genes, genome ...

Detection of Oil in Compressed Air (DOCA) (DOCA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
The project aims to solve a major problem plaguing the industry regarding the detection of oil contaminants in high purity compressed air. It aims to develop an online sensor that will detect oil contaminants in all its forms (liquid, aerosol and vapor) with an extremely high sensitivity in accordance with ISO-8573 Class 1 standards. The lack of any reliable, highly sensitive, online sensor system ...

Waterworlds: Natural environmental disasters and social resilience in anthropological perspective (WATERWORLDS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
The present times are haunted by a sense of vulnerability in the face of major environmental disasters and global climate change. Whatever course and speed the current changes may accrue, their effects on the human world are already manifest. People suffer from a loss of habitual natural resources, from fear of an increasingly unpredictable nature, and from social disruptions as natural habitats a ...
