This $1,000,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems supports research to examine the genetic and molecular changes that have enabled self-fertility to evolve in two different nematode (worm) species, Caenorhabditis elegans and C. briggsae. The key objectives are to reconstruct the evolutionary steps that allowed specific regulatory proteins (FOG-2 and SHE-1) to emerge from related gene families and become essential...
The National Science Foundation awarded Wabash College a $466,738 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to develop a novel protein control system in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The college will engineer a nematode-optimized degradron-latching orthogonal cage/key protein system called NEMDEGRONLOCKR to enable targeted degradation of regulatory proteins. Researchers will computationally design, biophysically test, and apply CRISPR-CAS9 to fuse NEMDEGRONLOCKR to...
