RHINOSPEC Dissecting speciation using a genomics approach

Coordinator: EAST CHINA NORMAL UNIVERSITY ECNU (CN)

Our proposal will tackle a central issue in biology: what is the genetic basis of species differentiation? Recent evidence of genetic exchange among species has led many to reject the traditional view that speciation requires complete reproductive isolation. Instead, the emerging new concept of so-called ‘genic speciation’ asserts that reproductive barriers can be established by divergence at only a few loci against a background of gene flow. We will combine novel and powerful analytical methods with new and traditional genetic technologies to investigate the genetic basis of species differen…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 1 year from 2014-04-14 to 2015-04-13.
