- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($1,200,000) will fund research at Texas A&M University to retrace the evolution of mammalian chromosomes and recombination rates over time. The researchers will analyze genome assemblies and genetic maps across the mammalian family tree dating back 100 million years. They aim to identify chromosome regions with the slowest recombination rates best suited for reconstructing mammalian evolutionary...
- This $600,019 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort led by New York University (NYU) to investigate the structure and function of the X chromosome, with a focus on the process of X-chromosome inactivation. The research team, which also includes researchers from Harvard University and the New Mexico Consortium, will integrate high-resolution genomics data with advanced spatial modeling to...
- The University of California Irvine received a three-year $800,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences. The award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support the research project "Dissecting the Phenotypic and Functional Consequences of Sexual Selection on Sperm Competition through a Species-Specific Multigene Family." The grant will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 to...
- This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene expression....
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
- This Project Grant award for $639,298.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by the University of California, Santa Cruz to investigate how conflicting maternal and paternal cues influence the evolution of transgenerational plasticity in offspring traits. The research uses theoretical models and laboratory experiments to explore how offspring respond when parents experience different environments, and whether parents...
- This $1.165 million National Science Foundation project grant will fund research at Marquette University from September 2022 through August 2026 to identify sex chromosomes in understudied lizard and snake species. The research aims to advance understanding of sex chromosome evolution by investigating reptile groups with diverse sex determination systems. Researchers will characterize sex chromosomes through comparative genomics, transcriptomics, and phylogenetics analyses. They will also...
- This federal Project Grant award of $899,982 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to study X-chromosome inactivation and genome organization in human cells. The research team from New York University, Harvard University, and the New Mexico Consortium will integrate advanced genomics data, computational modeling, and biophysical approaches to unravel the complex folding of the X-chromosome and its impact on...
- This $418,138 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the mechanisms and consequences of centromere drive in the yellow monkeyflower plant. The primary awardee is Scripps College, a private liberal arts college in Claremont, CA. The research aims to increase understanding of how centromeres, which guide chromosomes during cell division, can selfishly gain unfair access to egg cells, disrupting fair...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $307,486 provides funding from April 2022 through March 2026 to support research examining signals of genetic quality and mate choice in nonhuman primates. Funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to California Lutheran University will advance knowledge of physiology and social evolution in primate relatives through field-based research and laboratory analysis. Undergraduate...
