We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Iwgsc-Ibsc Workshop On Genome Sequencing Strategies @ University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
The recent advances in the development of next generation DNA sequencing technologies are opening the prospect for tackling large, complex genomes such as wheat and barley in a reasonable time frame and for tractable cost. It is timely to discuss the use of these technologies to sequence the wheat and barley genomes. To this end, the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (www.wheatgenome.org) and the International Barley Sequencing Consortium (www.barleygenome.org) will convene an international workshop on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genome sequencing. The goals of the workshop are to:
- Provide an overview of the wheat and barley genome structure
- Identify the requirements and challenges of sequencing wheat and barley
- Discuss the strategies, successes, and failures of completed animal and economically-important plant genome sequencing projects
- Discuss the results of ongoing wheat and barley pilot studies using new technologies alone or in combination with Sanger sequencing technology
- Gain input from the developers of new sequencing technology platforms on how to apply their technologies to sequence large, complex genomes, such as those of wheat and barley
- Discern needs and opportunities in bioinformatics to handle these projects
- Discuss national and international funding opportunities
- Determine whether the new technologies can be used to sequence the genomes in the near future and which projects should be developed to evaluate this possibility
- Establish a strategic roadmap for sequencing the wheat and barley genomes in the next few years.
This workshop will bring together international experts in the human and agriculturally-important genome sequencing projects, developers of genome sequencing technologies, scientists with extensive knowledge of the structure and organization of the wheat and barley genomes, representatives of international genome sequencing centers interested in de novo sequencing of plant species, as well as representatives of governmental funding agencies. The workshop will last two days and will result in a summary document that will be distributed to all participants as well as others interested in advances in wheat and barley genomics.

Era-Caps: Barley Yield Associated Network @ University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
Agriculture faces the 'Grand Challenge' of feeding a growing population with less land, fewer resources, a changing climate, and increasing environmental quality demands from society. Thus, crops that produce more per unit area with fewer resources and are both resilient and adaptable will be key components in addressing this Grand Challenge. An important first step towards robust agricultural systems is to develop a deep understanding of the genetic control of yield. In barley, yield is determined by many components and the ability to increase yield through standard breeding approaches has slowed. The primary goal of this ERA-CAPS project is to identify genes that control yield-related traits in the small grain temperate cereal crop barley, and to begin to understand how they contribute to this complex phenotype. The three partners in this project will separately focus on seed, spike (inflorescence) and tiller (seed bearing stem) traits. The project will benefit from bringing together a collection of genetic resources and expertise from the three partners. Long-term community integration will be assured by sharing the resources, tools and information with the broader barley genetics and breeding community and by training the next generation of molecular breeders and scientists.
In barley, yield is determined by many components and the ability to increase yield through standard breeding approaches has slowed. Barley grain yield is impacted by three components including: seed (size and number), spike (inflorescence) and tillers (vegetative branches). The overall goal of this ERA-CAPS funded project is to identify genes that control morphological and developmental components of yield in barley, and to begin to understand how they contribute to this complex phenotype. The research leverages a previously exome captured sequenced germplasm panel, which will be phenotyped for yield-related traits. These data will provide the opportunity to gain an increased understanding of GxE interactions for key traits. The team will conduct transcriptome sequencing of six trait-related tissues per genotype and analyze how gene expression relates to trait development. To enable accurate quantification of transcript read depth, a reference transcript dataset will be developed by using deep paired-end Illumina RNA-seq and PacBio ISO-seq data from six tissues from cv. Morex. This will be used to quantify transcript abundance from RNA-seq data collected from the same six tissues sampled across the population. RNA-seq derived SNP alleles will supplement the exome capture SNPs and both SNP datasets and transcript read depth variation will be used for association analysis with yield-related traits. Gene co-expression networks will be constructed using reference transcript dataset from Morex and RNA-seq data from the six tissues sampled from the germplasm panel. Both datasets will be integrated to identify candidate genes or key regulators of yield related traits. Functional characterization of candidate genes will be initiated by identifying deleterious alleles from TILLING populations available in each of the three partner labs. The project will provide global community resources of broad impact including: a reference transcript dataset, additional SNPs derived from the landrace collection, and gene co-expression networks for exploring key regulatory genes and their relationship to yield-related traits.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
