Ontogenetic transcriptome evolution in tetrapods (OntoTransEvol)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2015, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2020,

A central goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the molecular changes responsible for phenotypic differences between species, in particular those that have arisen among mammals. Phenotypic evolution is thought to be largely founded on developmental gene regulatory changes, which determine species-specific tissue morphologies and thus lay the foundation for their typical physiological prope ...

Light Field Imaging and Analysis (LIA)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2019,

One of the most fundamental challenges in computer vision is to reliably establish correspondence - how to match a location in one image to its counterpart in another. It lies at the heart of numerous important problems, for example stereo, optical flow, tracking and the reconstruction of scene geometry from several photographs. The most popular approaches to solve these problems are based on the ...

Formation of the First Stars (STARLIGHT)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,

"The appearance of the first stars marked a primary transition in cosmic history. Their light ended the so-called “dark ages”, and they played a key role in the metal enrichment and the reionization of the Universe, thereby shaping the galaxies we see today. Understanding high-redshift star formation is central to many areas of modern astrophysics. However, studying stellar birth in the early Univ ...

Neuro-vascular communication in the neural tube during development (NEUROVASCULAR LINK)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,

Despite the critical importance of a precisely formed vascular network within the central nervous system (CNS), little is known about the molecular mechanisms that specifically control CNS vascularization. While other embryonic tissues undergo primary vascularization, the CNS becomes secondarily vascularized by sprouting angiogenesis from a previously formed vascular plexus. Angiogenesis within th ...

The Science of Forecasting: Probabilistic Foundations, Statistical Methodology and Applications (SCIENCEFORE)

Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,

The future being uncertain, forecasts ought to be probabilistic in nature, taking the form of probability distributions over future quantities or events. Accordingly, a transdisciplinary transition from point forecasts to probabilistic forecasts is well under way. The ScienceFore project seeks to provide guidance and leadership in this transition, by developing the theoretical foundations of the ...

Experience and Teleology in Ancient Narrative (AncNar)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,

The last two decades have seen fascinating attempts to establish new narratologies, basing narratology on cognitive science or coupling it with other approaches such as postcolonial studies. While appreciating that these attempts have raised questions beyond the limits of structuralist narratology, critics have noted that by doing so they tend to abandon narratology’s strength, that is its analyti ...

Decoding the environmental adaptation of plant stem cell control (StemCellAdapt)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,

As sessile organisms, plants are exposed to extreme variations in the environment over the course of their lives. Since plants initiate new organs continuously, they have to modulate the underlying developmental program to cope with this challenge. At the heart of this extraordinary developmental plasticity are pluripotent stem cells, which are maintained during the entire life-cycle and that are ...
