Current Research Supported by the NAEF

  • Can analysis of telomere length be used to determine age of individuals from hair samples of the American marten and other mammals?
     
  • What is the genetic relationship between Wyoming's only federally listed endangered plant species and isolated populations of the same species in Nebraska?
     
  • How does the human enzyme tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase regulates protein biosynthesis in response to nutritional deprivation and viral infection?
     
  • How has an introduced fish (genus Catostomus) impacted the genetic structure of native fishes in western Wyoming?
     
  • How did the radiation of trees following the last glaciation affect the genetic structure of obligate root symbiotic fungi in the western United States?
     
  • How is chronic wasting disease transmitted?
     
  • How can spider's silk be both so strong and so flexible at the same time and can we mimic that with an artificial protein?
     
  • What are the genetic consequences of rarity and narrow geographic ranges in four species of Penstemon native to Wyoming?
