Research centers on elucidating the genetic basis and epigenetic mechanism of genome to phenome, especially on complex diseases and quantitative traits of livestock animals and humans.

• Developing statistical approaches to study the interaction between livestock genomes and environmental factors, especially to discover alleles and epi-alleles as biomarkers that modify responses to environmental stimuli and to investigate how such epigenetic marks and alleles affect exposed animals
• Global analysis of systems biology by integrating a variety of biological knowledge from genetic, genomic, and epigenetic studies
• Modeling and epigenetics in the reprogramming of chicken stem cells
• Developing strategies for animal disease-prevention and improving livestock performance
