NIH grant awarded to University of Massachusetts Amherst for research on genetic and developmental mechanisms influencing craniofacial variation using cichlid fishes as a model.
Description
This is a NIH grant project focusing on craniofacial development, involving genetic, developmental, and environmental factors, using cichlid fishes as a model. The project aims to understand genes contributing to craniofacial shape, their effects across tissues, and interactions with environmental mechanosensing.
