This $900,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project led by North Carolina State University to unravel the mechanisms behind the workings of the DNA mismatch repair systems. The research aims to elucidate the role of atypical nucleic acid structures, such as three-way junctions and R-loops, in driving the expansion of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) within the genome, which is a...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,443,286 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY). The grant, effective September 16, 2024 through June 30, 2029, will support research to characterize the role of elevated deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) pools in sensitizing the DNA replication machinery, known as the replisome. The research aims...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $796,823 to the University of Missouri System to conduct research on the "Genetic and Molecular Dissection of Meiotic Silencing by Unpaired DNA" over a 3-year period from March 2025 to February 2028. The research aims to better understand the mechanism behind the "meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA" (MSUD) pathway, which is a defense system that organisms use...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $910,000 over 4 years to Weill Medical College of Cornell University to conduct research on the regulation of DNA repair mechanisms and transcription at telomeres. The research aims to improve understanding of how genetic information is protected at chromosome ends, which is critical for cell and organism health. The...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $401,914 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) for a 5-year research project beginning February 1, 2025. The project aims to elucidate the evolutionary, biomedical, and functional impact of genomic structural variations, including deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations of large DNA...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $900,000 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms underlying the DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) enzyme's role in inheritance of gene silencing. The project aims to utilize structural biology, biochemistry, and cell biology methods to understand DNMT1 regulation and the mechanism cells use to restrict DNMT1...
This $2,285,694 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Tufts University to study the relationship between DNA replication and tandem repeat instability. The grantee will combine genetic assays and single-cell live microscopy analysis in a model system to understand how repeat length changes during replication. This dual approach will examine how a repeat's length, propensity to form DNA structures, and orientation...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,109,203 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to elucidate the role of protein arginine methylation in regulating RNA-binding protein function from May 2021 through April 2025. This award supports research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and...
This Project Grant award of $541,574 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) and the Israeli Binational Science Foundation. The project aims to investigate the effects of transcription factor binding on the accumulation of UV-induced DNA lesions and mutations within the human genome. Key aspects of the project include developing...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training Program provides $144,362.00 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to investigate the mechanism of Ess1-mediated regulation of the CTD of RNAP II phase separation.
