Projects

In this project, we are evaluating how the genetics and genomics of the host impact its response to diseases (e.g. PRRS) and other stressors (e.g. heat-stress), with or without interacting with other sources of variation (e.g. microbiome).

In this project, we are evaluating how we can improve complex economically important traits (e.g. litter size) more efficiently, through the identification of indicator traits (e.g. biomarkers).

In this project, we are evaluating how statistical methods can be used for genomic analyses and using pooled data in genetic evaluations, and defining novel traits.
