JUPITER Jumbo Phages In Translational Enzyme Research
Coordinator: VILNIAUS UNIVERSITETAS (LT)
Jumbo phages are large viruses of prokaryotes with 200 to 800 kilo base-pair (kb) genomes, well beyond the size of small phages that average around 50 kb. While investigation of small phages over the last century has transformed fundamental and translational biosciences, jumbo phages research is only in its infancy. The majority of jumbo phage genes are uncharacterized and cannot be annotated by comparative genomics. Thus, it is unknown how the genes function in jumbo phage biology. Importantly, jumbo phages generally carry genes to take over their hosts transcriptional and translational mach…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €1.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2025-01-01 to 2029-12-31.
