This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) totaling $329,172 funds a collaborative research project to investigate how the SMC5/6 protein complex manages branched DNA structures during DNA repair processes. The research teams at North Carolina State University will use complementary biochemical and high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) methodologies to examine how SMC5/6 recognizes and processes key DNA repair...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) is funding research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination. The $445,000 award will support a 5-year research project led by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to use a novel Xenopus laevis egg extract system to study the regulation of key homologous recombination intermediates. This...
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...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,585,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the Trustees of Indiana University for a research project titled "Mechanism and Regulation of Homologous Recombination in Genome Maintenance". The 5-year project, which began on July 10, 2024 and will be completed by April 30, 2029, aims to define the mechanism and regulation of DNA double-strand break repair through homologous...
This $100,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research led by Dr. John Chaput at the University of California, Irvine to elucidate the mechanism of DNA synthesis using time-resolved X-ray crystallography. The goal is to capture detailed snapshot images of the catalytic steps involved in DNA replication, providing a comprehensive understanding of this fundamental biological process at the atomic level. This...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $350,000 to the University of Iowa to support research on the mechanisms involved in the propagation of chromosome fragments in the germline. The 3-year project aims to investigate how DNA breaks that occur during the formation of egg and sperm cells are stabilized and passed on to the next generation. The research will be conducted using the model organism C. elegans and will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $910,000 over 4 years to Weill Medical College of Cornell University to conduct research on the regulation of DNA repair mechanisms and transcription at telomeres. The research aims to improve understanding of how genetic information is protected at chromosome ends, which is critical for cell and organism health. The...
The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) received a $389,525 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for a 5-year research project titled "CAREER: Mechanisms and Consequences of Epigenome-Recruited DNA Repair Systems in Plants." The project aims to study newly discovered DNA repair mechanisms in plants that could help protect critical genomic regions from harmful mutations. Researchers will leverage advanced...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $647,360 to Mississippi State University to investigate the evolutionary advantages of genetic recombination. The grant supports research from June 2022 through May 2027 that aims to integrate theoretical and empirical approaches to uncover how recombination influences evolution. As part of its goal to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national...
This $2,285,694 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Tufts University to study the relationship between DNA replication and tandem repeat instability. The grantee will combine genetic assays and single-cell live microscopy analysis in a model system to understand how repeat length changes during replication. This dual approach will examine how a repeat's length, propensity to form DNA structures, and orientation...
