Bio

Our research is centered on developing statistical methods for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits in domestic animals. Areas of interest include:

• incorporating functional annotations into genetic/genomic analysis
• scalable mixed-model analysis
• large-scale genetic fine-mapping
