RECESS Regulation and evolution of celluar systems
Research Topic: Collaboration between theoreticians and
experimentalists to model and understand similarities and differences in the logic and
quantitative behaviour of regulatory networks among species based on
high-throughput expression data.
The research plan comprises three main research areas:
- Comparative genomics of metabolic and regulatory systems
-
Network-based interpretation of transcriptome and proteome data
- Post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms
The research plan gives a more detailed overview of the defined research tasks connecting these research areas within RECESS.
Within RECESS we will have three postdoctoral research projects associated to the three research areas:
- Comparative genomics (TUM): Analysis of genotype/phenotype networks for quantitative trait loci relevant for human health
- Network-based analysis (LMU): Context based analysis of mRNA expression, protein mass spec and alternative splicing
- Post-transcriptional regulation (MSU): Genomic and structural analysis of post-translational modifications
Research labs with expertise and international reputation in the above areas are present at the three participating universities. PhD students will be associated with one of these labs.
The following picture gives an overview of topics which will be addressed in RECESS. It also links the topics with the involved faculty. Please click on the picture to get more information about faculty and research topics.
