This $923,098 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to strengthen global biodiversity research by building informatics capacity for ancient environmental DNA (aDNA) analysis. The grant will enable the integration of aDNA data into an open data ecosystem and establish a governance framework and social infrastructure to ensure high-quality, interoperable aDNA data and analytics. Specifically, the project will extend...
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 $493,248 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will enable the integration of ancient environmental DNA (aDNA) data into a linked open ecosystem of paleoecological and bioinformatic resources. The project will build the advanced data platforms and social infrastructure needed to support global-scale biodiversity research at unprecedented taxonomic resolution, coverage, and temporal extent. Key activities include...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) in Santa Fe, NM, provides $1,346,558 over 4 years to develop a modular software tool that will enable the identification of genetic diversity in plants critical for climate adaptation. The project aims to create computational methods and machine learning algorithms that can analyze pangenomes, functional genomic data, and phenotypic data to connect...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) aims to build a next-generation genomic data processing system that incorporates state-of-the-art systems design principles. The $200,000 award, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, focuses on three key innovations: (1) improving cluster scheduling policies based on characterization of genomic workloads, (2) developing machinery...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will provide $382,727 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project will develop a comprehensive "gene annotation pipeline" toolbox to rapidly identify the functions of unknown genes, especially in non-model organisms. This will involve creating a library of microbial strains that can select for key metabolic reactions...
This $119,600 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research testing evolutionary pseudocongruence along the Baja California peninsula through integration of geologic and genomic data. Funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the two-year award to the University of Alabama at Birmingham involves mapping and dating structural features in the mid-peninsula region and evaluating low-coverage genomes of plants, reptiles, and mammals to assess population...
This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to build a next-generation genomic data processing system that incorporates state-of-the-art systems design principles. The key innovations include: (1) improving cluster scheduling policy using workload characterization and an execution time predictor, (2) developing machinery for independently-scheduled genomic tasks with...
This Project Grant award of $130,222 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project titled "The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The project aims to compare historical and modern fish species, focusing on the blue sprat, to understand how they have adapted to challenges such as fishing and habitat loss over the past century. Key activities include assembling...
This Project Grant award of $136,600 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at William Marsh Rice University to develop advanced tools for directly visualizing, quantifying, and correlating DNA dynamics, organization, and gene activity in real-time. The project aims to overcome challenges in studying these essential processes for regulating gene expression and healthy cell function, which have been implicated in various diseases. The...
