RESEARCH INTERESTS My post graduate research mainly focuses on the genetic variants and molecular evolution of Ruminants. My subject is the macroevolution of rumen in Ruminantia. Ruminantia is the most prosperous branch in mammals concluding Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla after the extinction of dinosaurs. The emergence of rumen and the nearly perfect function may lead to robust adaptation and niche diversity. The function of rumen play a key role for ruminants’ survival and evolution. Ruminants occupy an important position in agricultural industry providing numerous economic products for human. I hope to find the origin and function of rumen and the highly efficiency of rumen for the applicable in agricultural production.
