Transcription network evolution under extreme environmental selection — NSF Award to Duke University (NC, $1,050,000)
Microbes called archaea live in the most extreme places on Earth, such as boiling hot springs, saturated salt lakes, and deep-sea vents, and are models for how organisms survive in harsh environments on this planet and perhaps others. This research project will reveal the genetic blueprint for survival under certain ex

| Abstract | Microbes called archaea live in the most extreme places on Earth, such as boiling hot springs, saturated salt lakes, and deep-sea vents, and are models for how organisms survive in harsh environments on this planet and perhaps others. This research project will reveal the genetic blueprint for survival under certain extreme conditions. This project will also provide students with a research experience that emphasizes mathematical modeling and experimental approaches; these skills are important f |
