DIGIT-BIO metaprogramme

How caterpillars perceive gravity is still not known. However, an evolutionary adaptation in the caterpillars of the European corn borer enables these larvae to use gravity information to move down the cob and thus avoid being killed during harvesting. The main aim of this project is to understand how caterpillars use gravity information to orient their movement.

in the nucleus of a cell, the three-dimensional conformation of the genome has a major impact on how it functions. A better understanding of the links between the 3D structure of the genome and its functioning represents a methodological challenge and requires dialogue between different disciplines

By applying the concept of the digital twin at the scale of a dairy farm, the inSiliCow project will develop a multi-scale simulation tool to aid on-farm decision-making with regard to farming practices for dairy cows. The inSiliCow project is a flagship ‘digital twin’ project for the Metaprogramme DIGIT-BIO.
