- This $1,526,917 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to revolutionize the use of poeciliid fish (guppies, mollies, and swordtails) as a model system for genome editing research. The project will develop new biotechnological tools, including immortalized cell lines and CRISPR-based DNA editing protocols, to enable precise genetic modifications in these organisms. In addition, the award will generate high-quality genome...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $744,781 provides funding to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during the formation of new species in swordtail fish (Xiphophorus). The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers in hybridizing populations, leading to the development of new...
- This $1,297,896 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will support research by Texas A&M University to investigate the evolutionary and neurogenomic mechanisms underlying species discrimination and behavioral isolation in North American stream fishes.
