Project Design

We envision a 5-year plan with three stages as follows:

stageⅠ:1000

Decipher the demographic history,and genomic effect of artificial selection early in domestication.

stageⅡ:5000

Identify the genetic basis of inherited disease,and various phenotypes and behaviors.

stageⅢ:10K

Construct a fine scale genomic map for breeds all over the world. Individual breed history,genes under selection in modern breeds and accumulation of deleterious variation.

This goal may change based on the number and quality of whole genome sequence data already available, or about to be made available, by the community.
