معرفی
Mette Lillie is a Researcher at the Department of Ecology and Genetics within the Evolutionary Biology Center at Uppsala University, Sweden. Her work focuses on population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation genomics across diverse taxa including koalas, Darwin's finches, reptiles, and domesticated species.
Her research centers on immunogenetic mechanisms, particularly Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) diversity dynamics, and retrovirus-host coevolutionary processes. She investigates how genetic variation influences species adaptation through whole-genome sequencing approaches, examining phenomena like population bottlenecks, inbreeding depression, and host-pathogen interactions in both wild and managed populations.
Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent methodological innovation in genomic analysis techniques applied to conservation challenges. Her work frequently addresses spatiotemporal genetic patterns across species boundaries, with strong emphasis on how historical selection shapes contemporary adaptive potential. Recent publications demonstrate increasing integration of ecological modeling with genomic datasets to predict species responses to environmental change.
