Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are abundant in mammalian transcriptomes. However, it remains unclear how many of them are functional, and how their functions are performed. LncRNAs seem to be poorly conserved at the sequence level, but some of them share conserved structural elements and are present at syntenic genomic positions in different species.

In the previous project, EPIC, we developed a consistent methodological framework for the exploration of disease comorbidity at the molecular level. EPIC provides a first overview of disease interactions from the general level to the one of individual patients. Particularly interesting is the network of patient-subgroups that matches, in a statistically significant manner,...
The path towards exascale computing holds enormous challenges for the community of weather and climate modelling regarding portability, scalability and data management that can hardly be faced by individual institutes. ESiWACE2 will therefore link, organise and enhance Europe's excellence in weather and climate modelling to
- enable leading European weather...
The Climate Modelling Users Group (CMUG) has worked for seven years on defining user requirements, assessing precursor and CCI climate datasets, and promoting the CCI datasets to the climate research and modelling community. The main goals and activities of the CMUG Phase 2 proposal are:
1. To carry out a more extensive (than was possible in Phases 1...
The Evaluation and Quality Control (EQC) function of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has a critical role to ensure that the service meets the needs of a range of users for high-quality data and information, and in proposing the necessary evolution of the service itself, while shaping the research agenda to attend the most important challenges detected. The ITT...
When provided in a climate-services context, seasonal climate forecasts can enable a more effective adaptation to climate variability and change, offering an under-exploited opportunity to minimise the agricultural impacts of adverse climateconditions. However, the development of seasonal prediction systems of climate-driven impacts on agriculture is still largely in the...
The European Cloud Initiative implementation encompasses different elements and will require a solid governance setup. Acornerstone of this governance is a Joint Undertaking, planned to start activities in 2019. HPC-GIG proposes intelligence gathering services from the European HPC stakeholders to this future HPC Governance - HPCG. It aims to facilitate atimely start of its...
Atmospheric particles coming from various sources such as in desert dust, biomass burning emissions or volcanic ashes can cause significant problems in aviation such as rerouting due to poor visibility, disturbance in airport operations, massive cancelling of scheduled fights and mechanical problems such as erosion, corrosion or abrasion (engine flame out in flight). Remember...
The ORCAS project aims to bring new light to the biological carbon pump, the process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is sequestered in the deep ocean in the form of sinking particles produced by plankton. The objectives of ORCAS are to:
• validate a state-of-the-art biogeochemical model against novel high-resolution mesaurements made by drifting underwater...
RDA Europe 4.0 addresses the INFRASUPP-02-2017 call targeting the area European support to the Research DataAlliance, RDA designing Europe s contribution to implementation of an effective governance model and strategy in RDAglobal, while ensuring that RDA delivers on locally relevant issues. RDA Europe 4.0 focuses on the need for open andinteroperable sharing of research data...
