  A comprehensively analysis of microorganisms and viruses from ancient samples using minion sequencing techniques
Max Planck Society Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History
  Prof M Marz
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019

  Characterising mechanisms that control Marek's Disease Virus genome release from telomeres during reactivation from latency
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Dr N J Royle, Dr R Badge
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Infection by Marek’s Disease Virus (MDV) is followed by latency, T-cell lymphomas and reactivation. It has significant deleterious effects on chicken health and welfare, with an annual estimated loss close to $2 billion to the global poultry meat and egg production industries.

  Defining the metabolic determinants of intestinal stem cell homeostasis
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Dr A Rufini, Prof F Giorgini
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
The intestine is the fastest renewing organ. This ability is enabled by the presence of fast proliferating intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that reside in the crypts of Lieberkühn at the base of the intestinal villi.
