This $266,220 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will fund research by New York University (NYU) to investigate the transcriptional mechanisms governing odorant receptor (OR) gene expression in ants. The project aims to bridge the understanding of stochastic and deterministic models of OR gene choice, building on previous research in mice and flies. Specifically, the research will examine how olfactory sensory neurons in the jumping ant Harpegnathos saltator express a single OR gene or OR gene array through a combination of deterministic and stochastic processes. The study will leverage single-nucleus RNA sequencing data to characterize the transcriptional patterns and regulatory mechanisms controlling OR gene expression in this species. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, seeks to provide a comprehensive description of the transcriptional logic underlying OR choice in ants.
