Summary
This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The fellowship supports research and training of the fellow that will contribute to biology in innovative ways. Mushroom-forming fungi are an understudied, but ecologically and economically important group of organisms. They spend most of their lives as dikaryons, with two genetically different nuclei in every cell. However, it is unclear how cells with two nuclei coordinate gene expression, which is essential for cells to function. These nuclei may contribute equally to gene expression, or one may contribute mor
