The formation of stars is intimately linked to the structure and evolution of molecular clouds in the interstellar medium. The French-German (ANR/DFG) collaborative project GENESIS (GENeration and Evolution of Structures in the ISm, http://www.astro.uni-koeln.de/GENESIS), explores this link with a new approach: by combining far-infrared data of dust (Herschel), observations of major cooling lines in the interstellar medium (CII, CI, CO, OI with the Stratospheric Observatory for FIR astronomy SOFIA), and molecular line maps from ground-based telescopes. It is also supported by the German Government funded MOBS (Modelling SOFIA data). We here present results of two workpackages, one showing SOFIA OI observations in the massive star-forming regions S106, and one investigating molecular cloud formation in the diffuse Draco cloud.Read less <
