This $2,963,428 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop critical infrastructure and tools for interpreting genomic data. The project will create high-quality genome assembly workflows, comprehensive documentation, and interactive training materials to make these advanced genomic analysis capabilities accessible to a wide audience of biology researchers. This will enable downstream discoveries in areas such as...
This $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research to study the origin and evolution of vertebrate diversity on the Marajo Island in the Amazon rainforest. The key activities include: Field collections of small vertebrates (amphibians, lizards, mammals) at four sites on Marajo Island Acquisition of genomic data from the collected samples and historical specimens from the Amazon basin Phylogenetic and population...
This $332,924 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Nebraska from August 2022 to July 2025 investigating convergent evolution of mitochondrial cytochrome c maturation systems in plant and algal species. The research will use molecular biology, genetics, plant growth assays, and computational analysis to study numerous pathway switches and assess the mechanisms and evolutionary importance when there is...
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 $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
This National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant, awarded to Northern Arizona University, will fund a collaborative research effort to investigate the genomic basis of evolutionary innovations in squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). The 3-year, $820,808 project will compile comprehensive genomic and phenotypic data for over 370 living and fossil squamate species, representing over 90% of squamate families. Using emerging comparative genomics and phylogenetics...
This $167,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to examine biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands. The key goals are to: Integrate rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in insect and spider populations using DNA-based metabarcoding techniques. Measure the velocity and extent of non-native plant invasions using satellite, aerial,...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod DNA metabarcoding across different landscapes in the Hawaiian Islands. The goal is to infer the processes shaping biodiversity and its decline, and how these can be captured remotely across varying scales and degrees of human impact. The researchers will integrate rapid assessment...
