This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences CFDA program (47.074), will investigate a novel regulatory mechanism called "RNA buffering" that maintains messenger RNA (mRNA) levels despite changes in synthesis and decay rates. The $749,978 project at the University of Utah will explore the protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions involved in this process, which challenges...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,199,997 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant will fund research to improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying messenger RNA (mRNA) localization and translation, and develop machine learning models to better predict protein production from mRNA. The project will apply recent advancements in RNA sequencing technology to study how factors like tRNA abundance and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the agency's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $680,000 from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 to the University of Chicago. The project aims to understand the sequences in pre-mRNA that determine which exons are removed during RNA splicing, a critical process in eukaryotic cells for generating mature messenger RNAs. The research will use high-throughput...
