The award funds research to identify genes affecting complex traits in yeast through a novel genetic mapping technique, CRI-SPA-Map, enabling high-throughput discovery of causal genes and contributing to STEM education.
Description
This project aims to identify causal genes influencing complex traits in yeast using a new genetic mapping method called CRI-SPA-Map. It includes systematic discovery of causal genes shaping yeast growth in diverse environments and educational components to improve STEM understanding and undergraduate research pathways.
