This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to identify novel gene regulatory networks underlying craniofacial development in Cyprinodon pupfishes. The $148,176 award, effective August 8, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will enable the University of California, Berkeley to conduct tissue-specific differential gene expression and chromatin accessibility analyses across pupfish species, developmental stages, and craniofacial tissues. This research aims to build predictive models of gene regulatory networks crucial for pupfish craniofacial divergence and test top candidate genes using advanced molecular techniques. The findings may uncover new insights into the genomic basis of craniofacial specialization with potential implications for understanding human craniofacial variation and disease.
