Multi-scale Star Formation Across Nascent Galaxies (MUSTANG)

Start date: Apr 1, 2017, End date: Mar 31, 2022,

One of the fundamental questions in modern astrophysics is how gas is converted into stars during galaxy formation, and how this may have changed with galactic environment and cosmic time. It is widely accepted that the unknown physics of star formation (SF) in molecular clouds and feedback from massive stars represent the main uncertainties in our understanding of galaxy formation. The key open q ...

The role of RNA in centromere biology and genome integrity (cenRNA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

One of the most astonishing processes in the life of a cell is the division into two daughter cells. Such a highly organized process would presumably be regulated tightly by the underlying centromeric DNA sequence; however, the sites of chromosome attachment to the microtubule spindle are regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. The best-characterized epigenetic mark for centromeres is the histone H3-v ...
