Our research explores how genetic variation in domestic animals shifts across time and geography. Understanding these population dynamics is essential for connecting genomic diversity to traits such as phenotype, physiology and health.
Based on these insights, we develop breeding strategies that enhance animal welfare while striking a balance between productivity, resilience and the preservation of genetic diversity and breed identity.
We are equally committed to education and outreach - translating our findings into practical, evidence-based guidance for breeders, veterinarians, stakeholders and the public.
