Research Interests

  • The current theme of my research or the short-term goal is to analyze and decode the genetic basis of various phenotypes of vertebrate animals or microbes (i.e. short tail, increased productivity, antimicrobial activity and etc.) with multi-omics data ranging from within-species, between-species genome data to RNA and epigenomic data. Based on my experience on these data, I wish to extend my research and hopefully answer my research questions.
  • The ultimate goal of my research is to understand the evolution of vertebrate species at molecular level.
