- | 2) By further sequencing candidate regions and whole-genome sequencing of few sheep samples with different phenotypes, we aim to get a detailed and whole picture of functionally relevant candidate regions and the whole genomic profile of few sheep. | + | |
- | 3) By using the statistical and bioinformatics methods in conducting the global analyses of the multiple data sets including the molecular, nutritional and environmental data for the sheep breeds, we aim to uncover accurate gene interaction networks and pathways. We further compare the genomics of sheep with other mammals such as mice and human. | + | |
- | 4) By designing a feeding experiment for diffrent sheep breeds and by investigating transcriptome and micro-RNA sequences of the breeds, we aim to evaluate the effect of nutrition on gene expression patterns and to infer putative candidate genes for the prolificacy of sheep. | + | |
