Wen Huang

Wen Huang is an Associate Professor at the Michigan State University, affiliated with the BioMolecular Science Gateway Faculty and the Genetics & Genome Sciences Program. His research integrates genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics to study complex traits in Drosophila melanogaster and livestock species.

Research Interests:

• Elucidating genetic architectures of quantitative traits
• Transposon dynamics and alternative splicing regulation
• Livestock genomics for agricultural improvement

Publication Trends: Recent work focuses on genome-wide association studies (GWAS), telomere-to-telomere assemblies, and multi-omic analyses of gene regulation in pigs and Drosophila.

Collaborative Initiatives: Co-leads large-scale projects like FarmGTEx and RT2T Consortium, aiming to improve functional annotation of animal genomes.
