Research Interests:

My research focuses on marine genetics and genomics. I am particularly interested in the understanding of genome biology and evolution of marine animals. During recent years, our group has invented a series of cutting-edge genomic techniques, providing a key technical platform for marine genomics and genetic breeding. We have also made breakthroughs in understanding key mechanisms for marine animal macroevolution, which fills the large void in our understanding of early animal origin and evolution. We are now in the process of developing an integrated genomic approach to unravel the genomic bases, developmental and evolution of important traits, which would not only deepen our understanding of marine biology and evolution but also speed up the progress of genetic breeding for sustainable aquaculture.
