Research at the Highlander Lab

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on the Born2Guide project, where we will develop a Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) strategy and framework for routine implementation and downstream genomic selection of guide dogs.

Goals

  • Obtain whole-genome sequences for breeding dogs;
  • Develop sequencing and imputation strategies for the rest of the population;
  • Produce method pipelines for routine genomic data collection and analysis

Background

have a PhD from the Centre of Genetic Improvement of Livestock at the University of Guelph. I focused on novel approaches to improve the selection of fertility and reproduction in dairy cattle.
