F08 reviews fellowship applications in genomics and genetics, DNA replication and related mechanisms, and genomic and molecular aspects of gene expression. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic biological systems (e.g., animals, bacteria, fungi, parasites, plants, viruses, etc.) are covered in this study section. The specific disciplines are as follows:
- Chromosome structure and function
- Complex genetic traits and diseases
- DNA replication, recombination, and repair (including telomeres, transposable elements, and molecular cell cycle)
- Genome stability
- Transcription, RNA Processing and Translation
- Gene expression and regulation
- Genetics
- Genomics (including functional genomics)
- Population genetics and evolution
- Statistical genetics
Shared Interests:
With F04B (Biophysical and Biochemical Sciences): Fellowship applications focused on enzymological or structural aspects of nucleic acids and nucleic acid protein interactions may be assigned to F04B; fellowship applications focused on mechanisms of DNA replication/repair and gene expression/regulation may be assigned to F08. Furthermore, a biophysical study of DNA or RNA may be assigned to F04B.
With F05 (Cell Biology and Development): Fellowship applications on nuclear organization and function, including chromosome architecture, meiosis and mitosis in relation to cell cycle, signaling of cell cycle and gene expression, and nuclear import and export may be reviewed in F05; fellowship applications on molecular aspects of gene expression/ regulation and its relationship to chromatin/ chromosome structure and function, molecular mechanisms of meiosis, and mitosis and maintenance of the genome may be reviewed in F08.
With F07 (Immunology): Fellowship applications focusing on the biology of the immune response to the pathogen may be assigned to F07; fellowship applications focusing on genetic or pathogenic aspects may be assigned to F08.
With F09 (Oncological Sciences): Fellowship applications focused on oncological aspects of genomics, genetics, DNA repair, and regulation of gene expression may be assigned to F09. Fellowship applications focused on fundamental aspects of genomics, genetics, DNA repair, and regulation of gene expression may be assigned to F08.
With F10 (Physiology and Pathobiology of Organ Systems): Fellowship applications with a focus on the pathology and physiology of organ systems may be assigned to F10. Fellowship applications with a focus on the genetic basis of disease or fundamental aspects of genomics, genetics, and regulation of gene expression may be assigned to F08.
With F13 (Infectious Diseases and Microbiology): Studies focused on genetic studies of microbes where the results principally apply to microbes may be assigned to F13. Studies using microbes as models that are broadly applicable across kingdoms for genetics, genomics, and molecular aspects of gene expression including chromatin structure function, DNA replication and repair, transcription, RNA processing and translation may be assigned to F08.
With F14 (Technology Development): Fellowship applications that are concerned primarily with the development of new methods, instrumentation, or technology for studies of genetic principles, genome organization, or molecular mechanisms may be assigned to F14; fellowship applications that are concerned primarily with elucidating genetic principles, genome organization, or molecular mechanisms may be assigned to F08.
With F16 (Health and Health Related Behavior of Individuals and Populations): Fellowship applications with a primary focus on genetics as a risk factor in epidemiologic studies involving human populations or behavioral genetic studies may be reviewed by F16. Fellowship applications with a primary focus on fundamental genetics or on genetic etiology of disease may be reviewed by F08. |
