Research

I am interested in inferring evolutionary history of fishes using genomic sequence data. We are currently using gene-capture method or resequencing approaches to collect sequences from thousands of single-copy coding loci. We also are testing different ways to choose the “correct” data to resolve controversial nodes of phylogeny even with phylogenomic data. My other research focus is to investigate genetic changes underline adaptive evolution of fishes using comparative genomic methods, such as adaptation to different salinity or temperature range in fishes and molecular mechanisms underline fish migration. The third theme of our research is focused on inventing new ways to leverage environmental DNA to monitor diversity of aquatic organism as well as invasive and endangered species.
