To advance and integrate genomics technologies to accelerate the speed and efficiency of celery breeding programmes. Employing genomic analyses to develop marker-assisted selection protocols that optimise the integration of favourable agronomic and consumer traits into superior celery varieties.

ELIXIR unites Europe’s leading life science organisations in managing and safeguarding the increasing volume of data being generated by publicly funded research. It coordinates, integrates and sustains bioinformatics resources across its 23 Nodes. ELIXIR enables users in academia and industry to access services (databases, software, training, standards, c...

Healthcare is the fasted growing EU27 expenditure. Personalised medicine, comprising tailored approaches for prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment is essential to reduce the burden of disease and improve the quality of life. Integration of multiple data types (multimodal data) into artificial intelligence models is required for the development o...

The Legume Generation consortium will invest in innovation that boosts the breeding of legumes in Europe by combining the entrepreneurial focus of breeders with the broad inventiveness of the supporting research base. Six species-oriented breeder-led innovation communities will link practical breeding with the research-base in a transdisciplinary framewor...

The Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) ProjectThe Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) Project has the overriding aim of accelerating the application of genomic science to enhance understanding of biodiversity, monitor biodiversity change, and guide interventions to address its decline. BGE coordinates and upscales DNA barcoding and reference genome generat...

Developing a resilient and sustainable agriculture system, and the agroecological transitions requires a deep understanding of agroecosystems, their interactions with the environment, and management practices. AgroServ features a large consortium of research infrastructures, most of them being on the EU roadmap, and a vast offer of services at all scales,...

Critical for the success of any brand in the Textile industry is the dyeing process with a requirement for colours to demonstrate uniformity, resistance and economic viability. These requirements however come at a significant environmental and societal cost with the industry globally recognised as one of the most environmentally polluting Industrial proce...

Antibiotic discovery from natural sources is beset by the re-isolation of known compounds and the difficulties in working with wild-type strains. Demuris and TGAC will transform this approach and use genome sequencing to identify and dereplicate known antibiotic gene clusters from a set of high value actinomycete strains that produce broad-spectrum antibi...

This application is for funding to support the development of a novel, portable and cost effective system for the detection of animal diseases pigs. These diseases have a significiant impact on animal health and represent a financial burden to countries worldwide. If funded, this project will deliver a magnetic sensor-based device and surveillance system ...

In the rapidly growing field of genomics, pattern matching against a sequence of nucleotides or amino acids is critical to the assembly, annotation and comparison of complex genomes. This is essential to tackle some of the leading diseases in humans (e.g. cancer) as well as identify and prevent the pathogens that can decimate stable crops that much of the...

The project aims to develop a methodology to identify sequence-based markers that are predictive of crop performance and that can be used to make crop breeding faster and more efficient. To underpin marker-assisted breeding and realize this potential in hybrid rape, molecular markers predictive of hybrid performance are required. High throughput sequencin...
