The researchers receive the grant for the project EPIC: "Unravelling the eukaryotic post-transcriptional regulatory".
"EPIC will allow us to understand and predict gene regulation – and ultimately phenotype – from DNA. This will close a major gap in basic biology, while also opening exciting avenues for potential applications. Our new insights could, for example, be applied in biotechnology, from pinpointing disease-causing mutations to the rational design of genes, RNAs, and cells," explains Julien Gagneur.
