The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $955,876 Project Grant to Northwestern University to investigate the role of prion-mediated epigenetic regulation in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to examine how two different yeast prions, [SWI+] and [MOT3+], interact and impact global transcription and protein homeostasis. Using advanced multi-omics techniques, the research program will identify...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship focused on understanding how the two genetically distinct nuclei in dikaryotic fungi coordinate gene expression. The research will quantify the relative contribution of individual nuclei to transcription under different genetic backgrounds and environmental stressors. This work aims to advance scientific understanding of how genotype and...
