- The Project Grant award, titled "Identification of Host-Encoded RNA Binding Proteins that Promote P-Element Transposition," is funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project aims to identify host cellular proteins that regulate transposable elements (TEs), which are mobile genetic fragments that can cause DNA damage and harmful mutations in the host genome. The research will utilize new approaches to study the regulation of TE...
- This $900,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support research to investigate the mechanistic roles of hyper-divergent regions in gene-by-environment interactions and their impact on adaptation. The project will use cutting-edge genomics, genetic crosses, and high-throughput experiments with nematode species to uncover molecular details on how evolution...
- This $452,399 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Hofstra University to investigate the epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in maize. The research aims to study the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RDDM) induced by naturally occurring maize "killer" alleles and explore the dynamic regulation of transposable element silencing in response to developmental cues. The project will...
