Population and Functional Genomics

Population and Functional Genomics

The group investigates the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversity at a population-scale. By integrating population genomics, quantitative genetics, functional genomics, and systems biology, we seek to identify the genetic determinants of complex traits and understand how genomic variation influences molecular traits and organismal phenotypes. Combining large-scale genomic datasets, multi-omics technologies, and computational modeling, our research aims to decipher genome evolution and develop predictive frameworks that link genotype to phenotype across eukaryotic organisms.
