Obiettivo We propose an inter-institutional, interdisciplinary training centre dedicated to the recovery of information from ancient biomolecules, GeneTime. The study of ancient biomolecules is a vibrant and innovative new interdisciplinary research area, with important scientific and cultural implications. Small, fragmented bimolecular remains have proved to be storehouses of past information, and their analyses can provide a window to the past, yielding information that is both of relevance and fascination in modern Europe, and its peoples. Ancient remains (museum skins, fossil bones, dried animal dung, blood stains, and even ice and sediment samples) contain records of genetic diversity and histories of both extinct and living species in the form of preserved DNA and proteins. With the right technologies this record can reveal novel data about how fauna and flora have responded to climate change and migration events, and identify key genetic and behavioural adaptations. In addition, early domestic specimens hold potentially valuable information about the changes in genetic diversity and dietary behaviour that produced modern domesticated animals and plants. Europe is the world leader in this uniquely exciting new area of research but due to the speed of methodological development and the extreme interdisciplinary of the field, training and resources are fragmented within and between countries. Centres of excellence do exist and GeneTime attempts to link to together four of these. Each institute has a particular research advantage, and by combining them the sum will be far greater than the parts. This will form a unique, high profile early training site, unparalleled in scope and seeking to share benefits of training and research Campo scientifico humanitieshistory and archaeologyhistorynatural sciencesbiological sciencesgeneticsDNAnatural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculesproteinshumanitieshistory and archaeologyarchaeologyarchaeometrynatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesatmospheric sciencesclimatologyclimatic changes Programma(i) FP6-MOBILITY - Human resources and Mobility in the specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration "Structuring the European Research Area" under the Sixth Framework Programme 2002-2006 Argomento(i) MOBILITY-1.2 - Marie Curie Host Fellowships - Early stage research training (EST) Invito a presentare proposte FP6-2002-MOBILITY-2 Vedi altri progetti per questo bando Meccanismo di finanziamento EST - Marie Curie actions-Early-stage Training Coordinatore UNIVERSITY OF YORK Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Heslington YORK Regno Unito Mostra sulla mappa Collegamenti Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (3) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Regno Unito Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo University Offices, Wellington Square OXFORD Mostra sulla mappa Collegamenti Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato THE PROVOST, FELLOWS AND SCHOLARS FOR THE COLLEGE OF THE HOLY AND UNDIVIDED TRINITY OF QUEEN ELIZABETH NEAR DUBLIN (HEREINAFTER CALLED TCD) Irlanda Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo The University of Dublin, Trinity College, College Green DUBLIN Mostra sulla mappa Collegamenti Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN Danimarca Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Oster Voldgade 3 COPENHAGEN K Mostra sulla mappa Collegamenti Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato
