The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded Yale University a $921,250 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant funds a 2-year project to define the molecular pathways governing chromocenter restructuring before and after fertilization. The study aims to determine how the chromatin regulator DOT1L controls chromocenter disassembly during sperm nuclear condensation, as well as how DOT1L regulates chromocenter assembly in early embryos. This innovative research is expected to reveal fundamental mechanisms underlying the dramatic heterochromatin reprogramming that occurs during gamete and embryo development, advancing understanding of genome regulation.
