This $1,120,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to explore the boundaries of life's genetic alphabet beyond the natural 4-letter system (A, T, G, C). The research will develop model systems to study the biomolecular properties of a 6-letter genetic alphabet (A, T, G, C, P, Z) and map critical interactions necessary for translation of this expanded genetic code. The project will use synthetic biology and chemical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 to the University of Texas at Austin to research the use of non-canonical genetic alphabets and codes to expand genetic capabilities in synthetic cells. The 3-year project (9/1/2024 - 8/31/2027) aims to: Investigate incorporating non-canonical nucleotides into genetic translation, Incorporate non-canonical amino acids via non-canonical genetic alphabets, and Use...
This $236,662 National Science Foundation award through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds research at Emory University to develop novel biomimetic materials capable of simultaneously encoding both nucleic acid and protein information codes to control assembly and function. Specifically, the award supports exploration of "bilingual biopolymers" using peptide nucleic acid as a scaffold to direct structure based on both peptide and nucleic acid...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Program grant in the amount of $170,000.00 awarded to the Regents of the University of Minnesota will support a collaborative research project to use non-canonical genetic alphabets to expand genetic codes in synthetic cells. The researchers will investigate the incorporation of non-canonical nucleotides into translation (Aim 1), the incorporation of non-canonical amino acids via non-canonical genetic alphabets (Aim 2), and...
This $900,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project led by North Carolina State University to unravel the mechanisms behind the workings of the DNA mismatch repair systems. The research aims to elucidate the role of atypical nucleic acid structures, such as three-way junctions and R-loops, in driving the expansion of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) within the genome, which is a...
This $583,025 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports Michigan Technological University's research on developing new chemical technologies for the synthesis of long oligonucleotides (DNA and RNA molecules). The goal is to extend the boundaries of chemical oligonucleotide synthesis beyond current limits, enabling the production of longer DNA and RNA molecules essential for applications in synthetic biology,...
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...
