The National Science Foundation awarded a $251,539 Project Grant to Purdue University to support collaborative research on understanding the evolution and patterns of fragmented mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice. The research will focus on three hypotheses related to mitochondrial genome fragmentation and will involve assembling and analyzing mitochondrial genomes and nuclear genes from 444 lice species. Key products and services to be delivered include phylogenetic analysis, tests for...
This Project Grant award for $399,902 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research by the University of Illinois to study fragmented mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice. The researchers will use whole genome sequencing data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of mitochondrial genome structure in lice and test hypotheses about the causes and consequences of mitochondrial genome fragmentation. Key products and services to be delivered include...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $133,767 to the University of Florida to investigate the evolutionary drivers of host-parasite associations in mammal sucking lice. Through high-throughput sequencing, machine learning, genomic and morphological analyses, the researchers will build the first phylogenomic tree for sucking lice and databases of louse traits and host...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $538,419 to the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Foundation to investigate the evolutionary drivers of host-parasite associations in mammal sucking lice. Through high-throughput sequencing, machine learning, genomic and morphological analyses, the project will generate the first phylogenomic tree for sucking lice, build a database of louse traits and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $197,909 to Texas A&M Agrilife Research and its parent organization The Texas A&M University System to conduct collaborative research on mammalian sucking lice host-parasite associations from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research will investigate the evolutionary history, genes, and physical traits of sucking lice, including human lice, to determine what host...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $272,547 to Arkansas State University to conduct research on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of snail-symbiont interactions. The project aims to uncover how environmental conditions shape the distribution and genetic diversity of freshwater invertebrate hosts and their parasites. Through field studies, outdoor experiments, and laboratory work, the research will explore how...
This award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program, CFDA 47.074, provides $1,335,651 to The University Of Kentucky Research Foundation to conduct research on speciation with gene flow in a pair of pine-feeding insect species. The project aims to understand how some species can maintain genetic differences despite ongoing gene exchange. Key research activities include: Larval diet manipulations and transcriptome analyses to quantify reproductive isolation and...
This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award provides $138,000 to fund research from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2024 exploring the connections between genotype, phenotype, and environment in shaping population-level variation in human head lice. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $240,000 over three years to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in driving the diversification of North American lizards during adaptive radiation. The fellow will generate reference genomes for Anolis lizards, apply cytogenetic techniques to...
This $899,894 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA 47.083, will support research to characterize the structure, membrane topology, substrate specificity, and biochemical properties of a unique mitochondrial HAD phosphatase enzyme in a divergent unicellular organism. The project aims to elucidate the dual functional roles of this enzyme, which may provide insights into the broader cellular functions of the related TIM50 protein...
