Introduction
Research topic is to understand genetic basis controlling phenotypic variation in livestock animals.
- "Genetic analysis for several traits in chickens and quails": Searching for chromosomal regions affecting egg production and egg quality traits, morphological traits, and behavioral traits to understand genetic mechanism underlying phenotypic diversity.
- . "Population genomics in livestock animals": Revealing genomic signatures of selection in each breed population. Searching for genes affecting egg production traits by comparing the genomic differences between high and low populations of egg production.
- "Genomics for animal domestication": Searching for genetic variants affecting domestication-related traits by using domestic animals and their wild ancesters.
List of current research topics
- Genetic analysis for Mendelian traits and quantitative traits in chickens and quails
- Population genomics in livestock animals
- Genomics and genetic analyses for animal domestication
- Genetic and environmental factors for egg component traits in chickens
