This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $507,000.00 in funding to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on the evolutionary and functional genomics of genetic novelties and expression adaptation in Drosophila. The key objectives of this 5-year project are: 1) to identify transcriptome novelties in Drosophila melanogaster reproductive...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $1,324,710 provides funding from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 to support research understanding how newly evolved genes acquire protein interactions and regulatory mechanisms in Drosophila reproduction. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award to the College of the Holy Cross will explore how three genes essential for Drosophila melanogaster spermatogenesis evolved novel capabilities, including physical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The fellowship will support research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes, with a focus on understanding how repetitive DNA sequences, particularly a satellite repeat on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, influence...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $198,724.00 was made by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The grant supports a research program led by the University of California, Santa Cruz that seeks to understand the functional genetic basis of the symbiotic relationship between the bacteria Wolbachia and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Key research objectives include: revealing the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities, under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083), provides $166,686 to fund experimental research on speciation and reinforcement in Drosophila melanogaster populations at the University of South Carolina from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The award supports tracking the evolution of reproductive barriers between experimental fly populations over time under varying conditions of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $375,430 to support research addressing fundamental questions in human evolutionary history and the formation of genetic diversity. The 5-year award, effective August 1, 2024, will enable the development of new theoretical and computational methods to uncover details of early human evolution and recent admixture/demographic...
This three-year, $830,162 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences will support research tracking adaptive evolution in the invasive fruit fly Zaprionus indianus in real time. NIGMS' Biomedical Research and Research Training program aims to increase understanding of biological processes and lay foundations for advances in disease diagnosis and treatment. The University of Richmond will genetically and phenotypically characterize North American Z. indianus populations...
This $432,173 Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. The award will support research on understanding the genetic drivers of fitness variation in wild fruit fly (Drosophila) populations. Key objectives are to: 1) Identify the genetic processes generating fitness differences among individual flies, including differences in survival, mating success, and gametic...
The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division, is the recipient of a $436,326 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The project, titled "DISSECTING CRYPTIC GENETIC VARIATION UNDERLYING COMPLEX TRAITS IN DROSOPHILA", aims to use the Drosophila model organism to reveal cryptic genetic variation and uncover novel gene-gene and gene-environment interactions...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $502,161 to Appalachian State University to investigate the impacts of evolutionary novelty on generalist species. Specifically, the award will fund research examining toxin tolerance in Drosophila tripunctata fruit flies that use diverse mushrooms and fruits as hosts. The university will test hypotheses about how toxin tolerance...
