This Project Grant award, valued at $491,366, was issued by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) under the Human Genome Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.172). The award is focused on developing new algorithms to robustly map disease-associated genetic variants to critical target genes, particularly in underrepresented populations. Key objectives include: Improving the ability to identify disease-critical genes in non-European populations where data is limited. Developing...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $435,406 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to the University of Colorado-Denver to explore new strategies for inferring protein-level changes from mRNA abundance measurements. The 2-year project aims to develop conceptual embeddings of proteins that capture information on protein-protein interaction networks and protein sequence, domain, and structure. These embeddings will be evaluated for their utility in...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research), aims to develop new genomic and computational approaches to understand the functional impact of genetic variation in the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNA and its effect on protein output and gene function. The primary goals are to: 1) Identify and characterize variants in human 5' and 3' UTRs, and quantify the regulatory activity of each variant on mRNA...
This federal Project Grant award of $639,134 was provided by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) under the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The grant supports the development of new methods for globally identifying protein and ribonucleoprotein (RNP) interactions with nascent, unspliced RNA in human cells. The research aims to produce comprehensive binding site maps for key splicing regulators such as RBFOX/LASR, U1...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $504,949 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to the University of Washington to develop advanced machine learning models that integrate Hi-C chromatin contact data with other genomics data types. The project aims to: 1) Extend the SAGITTARIUS model to analyze Hi-C time-series data and study the dynamic interplay between gene expression and chromatin structure during biological processes; 2) Develop a graph-based...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $594,501 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to develop a unified probabilistic model and software implementation for analyzing nascent RNA sequencing data. The project aims to create powerful computational tools that can accelerate transcriptional research by enabling the estimation of transcriptional rates directly from nascent RNA sequencing data, with applications in areas such...
This $131,338 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Human Genome Research Institute (CFDA 93.172 Human Genome Research) to the University of Washington. The overarching goal of this 2-year award is to identify the functional consequences of variations in nuclear architecture on transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, and the role of this variation in human health and disease. Specifically, the award supports three research aims: 1) developing novel deep learning...
This $1,205,737.49 Project Grant awarded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) under the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172) supports the development of scalable computational methods and software tools to enable better analysis and interpretation of large genomic datasets. The key objectives are to: Develop a novel maximum likelihood estimation framework and optimization techniques to significantly accelerate phylogenetic analysis and enable the use of more complex...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant to an individual located in Seattle, Washington under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The two-year award will fund research defining the link between genetic variation in human populations and messenger RNA stability. The fellow will use high-throughput experimental and computational approaches to identify amino acid motifs that alter mRNA stability. This includes a novel massively parallel knock-in...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $119,611 Project Grant under the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The award period runs from August 29, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant will fund research to uncover regulatory networks controlled by transcription factors associated with monogenic diseases and decipher their involvement in driving complex disease phenotypes. The project aims to use advanced genomic...
