Introduction

Research topic is to understand genetic basis controlling phenotypic variation in livestock animals.

  1. "Genetic analysis for several traits in chickens": Searching for chromosomal regions affecting egg production and egg quality traits. To understand genetic mechanism underlying phenotypic diversity.
  2. "Population genomics in livestock animals": Revealing genomic signatures of selection in each breed population. Searching for genes affecting egg production by comparing the genomic differences between high and low populations of egg production traits.
  3. "Genomics for animal domestication": Searching for genetic variants affecting domestication-related traits by using domestic animals and their wild ancesters.
