Research grant awarded by NIAID to Pennsylvania State University for studying epigenetic mechanisms of cytoplasmic incompatibility in mosquitoes, aiming to develop vector control strategies.
Description
This is a research grant award for a project titled "The Epigenetics of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility" funded by NIAID, with a total award amount of $597,151. The project focuses on the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cytoplasmic incompatibility in mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria. The project involves chromatin profiling, genetic experiments, and epigenetic analysis to understand and potentially engineer vector control strategies against mosquito-borne diseases.
