Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology (MICRO B3)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Micro B3 will develop innovative bioinformatic approaches and a legal framework to make large-scale data on marine viral, bacteria; archaeal and protists genomes and metagenomes accessible for marine ecosystems biology and to define new targets for biotechnological applications. Micro B3 will build upon a highly interdisciplinary consortium of 32 academic and industrial partners comprising world-l ...

International Human Microbiome Standards (IHMS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

A detailed understanding of human biology will require characterisation of the human-associated microorganisms, the human microbiome, and of the roles these microbes play in health and disease. Large projects in Europe, the United States, China and Canada target these objectives, using high throughput –omics approaches. Given the complexity of our microbial communities, composed of thousands of ...

Molecular Approaches and MetaGenomic Investigations for optimizing Clean-up of PAH contaminated sites (MAGICPAH)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"MAGICPAH aims to explore, understand and exploit the catalytic activities of microbial communities involved in the degradation of persistent PAHs. It will integrate (meta-) genomic studies with in-situ activity assessment based on stable isotope probing particularly in complex matrices of different terrestrial and marine environments. PAH degradation under various conditions of bioavailability wi ...

The Microme Project: A Knowledge-Based Bioinformatics Framework for Microbial Pathway Genomics (Microme)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

The exponential increase in microbial genome and metagenome sequencing throughput has widened the gap between sequence and functional understanding. A clear picture of metabolic processes across the spectrum of bacterial species is essential to enable the exploitation of microbial genomics for the purposes of environmental biotechnology. The Microme project endeavors to extend the scope of microbi ...

Markers for emphysema versus airway disease in COPD (EvA)

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

COPD is characterized by emphysema (destruction of the lung alveoli) and airway disease (inflammation and thickening of the bronchial wall) both of which lead to airway obstruction. These two features co-exist in most patients but some patients present with only emphysema (E) or only airway disease (A). The aim of the project is to identify markers specific to E and A of COPD. Our hypothesis is th ...
