Molecular evolution and genome biodiversity. Investigations involve five correlated areas: genome diversity and adapt ive evolution; origin of domestic animals and artificial selection; human & animls genetics and evolution:
Ø Genome diversity and adaptive evolution
Integrated with habitat and behavioral data, we investigate genomic variation, how (and why) the variations are selected , and the evolutionary forces underlying adaptation. Explore the fate of duplicate genes, how novel gene functions, new gene pathways, and gene networks evolved.
Ø Origin of domestic animals and artificial selection
Our studies into the origin and genetic diversity of economically important domestic animals identify their unrecorded history. Genomic comparisons elucidate the genetic bases of domestication, and discover changes in genes or genomic elements that contribute to domestication.
Ø Human & animals genetics and evolution
We use DNA sequence data to reconstruct the pre-history of modern humans and the evolutionary relationships of species, and to investigate the population genetic structure of selected important species. In addition, we probe the genetic causes underlying specific human traits and major diseases, explore changes in morphology, ecology, physiology, and behavior, as well as the mechanisms of speciation and macroevolutionary biogeography.Students
