Professor Dongxiao Sun, PhD, China Agricultural University, China
Dongxiao Sun, PhD, is a professor of the College of Animal Science & Technology at China Agricultural University, the Head of the Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding. Her primary research interest has been in the investigation on genomic selection technologies and genetic mechanisms underlying the important traits for dairy cattle. In the past years, she won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award (3/10), published more than 200 articles and received 14 authorized national patents.
With the developments in quantitative genetics and molecular genomics, coupled with significant advances in high-throughput sequencing technology, a large variety of multi-omics data has increased sharply, including phenotypes, genotypes, DNA and RNA sequences, and other functional genomic data. In the new era of farm animal genetics and breeding, studies integrating multi-omics approaches will enable a deeper understanding of the regulatory mechanisms underlying complex traits and environmental adaptations, but also provide insights into genomic selection.
This Collection focuses on the significant progress during recent years and possible future perspectives in farm animals, so as to boost and lead researches and applications towards the new era of livestock and poultry genetics and breeding. Topics include basic research progress on genome annotation, genotype-tissue expression and artificial intelligence, as well as achievements on genetic and genomic studies of complex traits, and the advances in cutting-edge breeding technologies in livestock and poultry.
There are currently no articles in this collection.
This Collection welcomes submission of Research Articles and Reviews. Should you wish to submit a different article type, please read our submission guidelines to confirm that type is accepted by the journal.
Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Editorial Manager. Please select the appropriate Collection title "Towards the new era of farm animal genetics and breeding" from the dropdown menu.
Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.
The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer-review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
