个人简介
He is a geneticist with 20 years experience in population, evolutionary and molecular genetics who works at the Queensland Bioscience Precinct in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He currently leads CSIRO’s research into livestock genetic improvement.
Most of his work is with cattle, including:
host-parasite relationships such as resistance to ticks
meat quality such as marbling and tenderness
carcass composition such as meat yield, percent fat and fat distribution.
His main interest is in genes that affect normal phenotypic (visible) variation, often called quantitative trait loci (QTL), because they are the basis for most evolutionary change. QTL are important to agriculture and medicine. Until recently, QTL have been difficult to study. The study these QTL involves the construction of gene maps; the comparison of gene maps of mammals; the analysis of genetic and DNA sequence data (bioinformatics) and the identification of how genes cause differences in the animal. He is specifically interested in identifying new gene markers for economically important traits of cattle and studying cattle breed evolution using cattle haplotype maps.
