        In the past I mostly worked in population genetics of wild species. For wild species, there are usually few ‘genetic resources’ available, such as genome sequences etc. For the pig and cattle, there were comparatively lots more genetic tools and resources, though not as much as for humans or mouse etc. Meat quality is a very interesting group of traits and I was interested in learning more about their genetic basis. I was excited to broaden my experience and work in meat quality of these species for that reason.
