The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. received a $980,133 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2030. This award funds fundamental research investigating the genetic basis of gonad determination in Anolis lizards, with specific focus on the molecular mechanisms controlling testis development in the brown anole lizard (Anolis sagrei). The research will employ advanced molecular techniques, including HCR (hybridization chain reaction) RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization and CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9) gene disruption, to elucidate the function of the Y-linked gene RPL6Y and its X-linked counterpart RPL6 in sex determination. The deliverables from this award include novel scientific data and methodological advances that will enhance fundamental understanding of vertebrate reproductive system development and evolution. The project will produce research outputs applicable to genetic and developmental biology disciplines while simultaneously contributing to workforce development through undergraduate and graduate student training, hands-on research experiences, and collaborative educational opportunities. These activities advance National Science Foundation priorities in biotechnology and strengthen the national research enterprise in gene editing biotechnology.Federal Grant Award Summary
