Researchers will use comparative genomic and evolutionary analyses...
This four-year, $811,531 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to decipher the molecular basis of the capitulum, a key floral structure in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The University of Memphis, with the Board of Regents Tennessee as its parent organization, will generate high-quality genomes and curated gene expression data for multiple plant species. Comparative genomic and evolutionary analyses will be performed...
This federal Project Grant award of $474,926 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project focused on the evolutionary and functional genomics of Hawaiian Bidens plants. The research aims to determine the genetic basis of phenotypic trait diversification in this rapid adaptive radiation, advancing the understanding of what drives the evolution of new species. The project will generate new genome assemblies and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $649,999 to Duke University to develop a semi-automated system for determining gene activity across different plant organ types. The goal is to understand the common and distinct functions of plant genes in the development of lateral organs like roots, leaves, and flowers. The project will compare two plant species and examine how cell signaling pathways shape organ...
This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the development of new computational tools for analyzing single-cell genomic data across diverse plant species. The $1,180,752 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University aims to address key challenges in plant single-cell transcriptomics, including determining known and novel cell types, enabling cross-species comparisons, and overcoming the lack of curated...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $806,156 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The award, effective March 15, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will support research to uncover the mechanisms and repeatability of speciation with gene flow in dune sunflowers. The project will explore how and why assortative mating evolves between sunflower ecotypes, whether parallel evolution leads to parallel...
This $249,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports comparative genomics research to understand the genetic regulation of apomixis in the Rosaceae plant family. The award funds a three-year NSF Plant Genome Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Charity Goeckertiz at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology under the supervision of Dr. Alex Harkess.
