The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $775,170 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct a research project titled "Multiscale Genomic Decryption of Regulatory DNA". The project aims to better understand how regulatory DNA elements, such as transcription factor binding sites and enhancers, work together to control gene expression patterns during development and in response to various stimuli. UCSD will use experimental and computational approaches, including precise measurements of transcription initiation, to investigate how the configuration and interactions of regulatory DNA features influence transcriptional regulation. The findings from this research are expected to expand the understanding of how regulatory DNA and genetic variation affect gene expression, which could lead to improved models of transcriptional networks and interpretation of genetic variants.
