  Research Interest

  Establish a comprehensive non-coding functional genomic annotation of pig skeletal muscle at different developmental stages. Investigate how DNA mutations affect pig meat-production traits through modulating the activity of cis-regulatory elements of key genes. Develop innovative experimental methods to locate non-coding regulatory elements that affect complex traits. Develop new computational methods to improve the accuracy of genomic selection, from the perspective of integrating functional annotations and of cross-population trait prediction. Develop de novo mutation-based algorithm to identify risk/effector genes for complex diseases and traits.
