We are interested in population and quantitative genetics of domesticated animals such as livestock and pets. We focus on investigating the relationship between genetic architecture, population structure and important traits. We want to find a) genetic variation linked to those traits and b) variation that allows certain populations to survive in challenging environments. People Current and past members of our group. Research Identify genomic regions relevant for local (environmental) adaptation and traits of interest (artificial selection) to preserve genetic diversity and contribute to informed breeding Recent publications Overview of recent publications News Find out more about our research on other platforms.
