This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene expression....
The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded a $398,791 Project Grant to The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees to support the project "MCA: A Computational Framework to Study Micrornas in Cell-Cell Interactions" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. This grant will fund the development of a computational framework to study the role of micrornas, small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression, in cell-cell...
This $120,227 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Northeastern University to develop a new theoretical approach for studying the three-dimensional architecture and conformational ensembles of genes and gene clusters. The project aims to: (i) model the mechanics of chromatin at the gene scale, (ii) investigate how genomic conformations are affected by factors like supercoiling and...
This $240,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of genome organization on de novo gene origination. The research aims to test a new theoretical model explaining the process of new gene evolution, by examining how the genome's structural features influence the birth of genes that arise from non-coding regions. The key components of the research include: 1)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $500,176 to Eastern Michigan University (EMU) will advance fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression. The 3-year project will study the structure and function of the UHRF1 and UHRF2 epigenetic regulator proteins, which play critical roles in processes like cell cycle control and DNA repair. The research aims to elucidate differences in histone binding...
