This award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $449,695 to Clark Atlanta University to support a research project titled "Deriving Gene Function from Three-Dimensional Gene Clustering". The project aims to identify functional gene clustering and coordinated gene expression in a green alga, A. protothecoides, by integrating multiple sequencing data to map the three-dimensional genome architecture. The research will explore the relationship between gene clustering and co-expression in eukaryotes, identify genomic features that support the co-regulation of co-functional gene clusters, and examine dynamic changes in gene clustering under functional genomic stress. This work could lead to the discovery of novel biological pathways or products and potential targets for bioengineering. The project period runs from Aug 1, 2024 to Jul 31, 2027. No subawards are planned under this grant.
