This $299,882 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 STEM Education) to Tougaloo College aims to advance the field of genomics through innovative research and education initiatives. The overarching goal is to utilize high-throughput genomic and transcriptome data, primarily from nanopore long-read sequencing, to investigate the influence of DNA methylation on RNA velocity trajectories in diverse biological systems and diseases. The project will develop computational tools to accurately estimate RNA velocity and detect DNA methylation patterns, including rare or novel modifications. This research has the potential to impact healthcare through enabling more accurate diagnostics, personalized therapies, and advancements in genomic medicine. Additionally, the project will provide valuable research experiences for undergraduate students, particularly those from historically marginalized communities, and transform STEM pedagogies at Tougaloo College. The award period is from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2026.
