Current Research

The advent of advanced sequencing offers the availability of denser markers reaching up to whole-genome sequences (WGS) for livestock species. It presents an opportunity to enhance genomics study. We investigate the benefit of using whole-genome sequences to improve genomic prediction in livestock.

Goals

  • Obtain and explore whole-genome sequences for beef cattle;
  • Evaluate the use of whole-genome sequences for genomic prediction with different methods and statistical models

Background

I gained a BSc in Animal Science (Prince of Songkla University) and an MSc in Agriculture (University of New England). I have also worked in animal production and animal breeding for the government and university in Thailand. I am a PhD student at the University of New England in Australia.
