The University of Louisville's Office of Research & Innovation received a $542,324 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, awarded May 15, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2029. This collaborative research initiative will conduct the first systematic comparative analysis of immune genes and antibody repertoires across 60 mammalian species using advanced DNA and RNA sequencing technologies. The project will generate high-quality genome assemblies focused on immune-related genes, develop novel computational tools for data analysis, and identify patterns explaining species-level variation in infectious disease response capacity. The primary deliverables include publicly available genome assemblies, expressed antibody repertoire datasets, and open-source software tools that will serve as foundational resources for the immunology and disease research communities. Additionally, the project will establish community standards for comparing immune gene data across species through a working group initiative, creating infrastructure for a broader research consortium extending beyond the grant period. The award includes significant workforce development components through graduate and undergraduate research training in computational biology, genetics, and immunology, with students gaining hands-on experience in both laboratory sequencing methodologies and advanced computational analysis techniques.Federal Grant Award Summary
