Research Interests

The main research work includes population evolution history, variation source tracing, key genes and variation mining of ruminant livestock. Based on high-throughput sequencing technology, genetic variation of modern populations and ancient samples of cattle and sheep were detected, and the origin and transmission of genetic variation were inferred, so as to analyze the adaptive evolution and breeding process of domestic animals. In this process, selected genomic loci related to environmental adaptability and various economic traits were mined, and causal variations were located through multiple omics data.
