This $377,731 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports machine learning and multi-omics network approaches to predict protein functions in the model plant system Arabidopsis. The research aims to employ artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning to integrate diverse biological datasets and improve gene functional annotations, as well as predict functions for unclassified genes. The project will validate...
Colorado State University will provide research, education, and outreach services under a $622,699 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and aims to facilitate the prediction and validation of plant enzyme functions through three key activities. First, CSU will deposit published plant enzyme activities into public databases to support computational function...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the development of an enhanced E3-DART protein degradation system for plant cell biology research. The primary awardee, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), will receive $259,157 over the award period from December 2024 to November 2026 to accomplish the following key objectives: Develop a ligand-inducible E3-DART system to enable chemically controlled protein degradation in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides funding of $993,190 to the University of Maine System to conduct research focused on engineering stable, transmissible plant minichromosomes for synthetic biology applications.
