Personal profile
Research interests
I am a molecular and population geneticist interested in elucidating the genetic/genomic control of biological (mendelian inherited, production, functional and adaptive) traits in livestock species. I am particularly interested in understanding how patterns of genetic variation within and between livestock species relate to their phylogeographic and evolutionary history and dynamics.
Projects
1. Genetic and genomic evaluation delivery tools (£ 38,387)
2. African cattle genomic reference resource, SNP assays, and signatures of selection (£222,445)
