This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $157,000 to Michigan State University to reveal how a mitochondrion-localized protein, ASZ1, recruits PIWI proteins to the intermitochondrial cement (IMC) for PIRNA biogenesis and germ cell development. The project aims to fill a knowledge gap on how mitochondria recruit PIWI proteins to form the IMC, which is critical for...
This Project Grant award of $380,495.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to investigate the mechanisms and factors that promote aberrant DNA repair at meiotic double-strand breaks, which can lead to the formation of de novo structural variants in the germline. The research program at the Regents of the University of Michigan will address how closely spaced double-strand...
This $1,084,158 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports the University of Michigan's research efforts to investigate RNA-protein interactions (RPIs) and develop enabling technologies. Specifically, the grant funds three major research directions: 1) Further development of the university's live-cell RPI assay technology, RNA Interaction with Protein-mediated Complementation Assay...
This Project Grant award, valued at $413,118.00, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The grant supports research to investigate organelle transport and organization during mammalian oogenesis, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying primary oocyte determination, quiescence, and loss in adult ovaries. Key research objectives include: Defining the intercellular polarity...
This $504,175 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research on the role of non-coding RNA in regulating pluripotent stem cell biology and differentiation. The project, led by Yale University, leverages studies of adult pluripotent stem cells in planarians to investigate how piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and their binding partners, the piwi proteins, contribute to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $759,948 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Ohio State University. The funding will support a 3-year research project focused on characterizing the biogenesis and degradation of piRNAs (PIWI-interacting RNAs) in the model organism C. elegans. Key objectives include examining how piRNA production is regulated at the transcriptional level, investigating an unconventional cap-binding protein involved in processing...
This Project Grant award, totaling $432,834, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training federal grant program (CFDA 93.859). The award supports the development of an "enzyme-free, label-free quantitative microarray technology" to enable highly sensitive and quantitative measurement of small nucleic acid targets, such as microRNAs, with applications in liquid biopsy diagnostics. The research strategy...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $387,500.00 in funding to The Johns Hopkins University to study the roles of microRNAs in animal development. The research aims to systematically investigate the functions of conserved microRNAs and identify their critical molecular targets, with the goal of revealing how dosage changes in these important gene regulators...
This Project Grant award, totaling $222,708.00, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training federal grant program (CFDA 93.859). The award supports research to define the mechanisms by which individual microtubules are identified and selected for specific post-translational modifications in cells. The overarching goal is to advance the understanding of how cells utilize "writers and readers of the tubulin...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research provides $1,279,780.00 to Wayne State University to study the mechanisms of the MEIG1 complex in mammalian spermiogenesis and fertilization. The key objectives are to: Dissect the motor-based complex in the manchette and its role in sperm formation Establish an in vivo system to investigate protein...
