This $120,227 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Northeastern University to develop a new theoretical approach for studying the three-dimensional architecture and conformational ensembles of genes and gene clusters. The project aims to: (i) model the mechanics of chromatin at the gene scale, (ii) investigate how genomic conformations are affected by factors like supercoiling and...
This $430,241 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is funding research at Yale University to characterize the dynamics of intrachromosomal contacts within eukaryotic cells. The project aims to measure the "first passage times" - the duration it takes for distal locations on a chromosome to come into meaningful contact - through deployment of a specialized fluorescent...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) was provided to Brandeis University to conduct research investigating the role of heterochromatin and the protein HP1 in maintaining epigenetic memory and gene expression patterns in cells. Specifically, the $229,840 award will fund research to: (1) engineer synthetic H3K9me binding modules to test how DNA compartmentalization influences epigenetic memory, (2) determine how...
This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene expression....
