Xin Sun is a Researcher at the Section for Hologenomics within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen. With an ORCID identifier of 0000-0001-5902-9949, Dr. Sun conducts research in genomic analysis of wildlife species and conservation biology, maintaining an active publication record with 13 research outputs including journal articles and preprints.
Dr. Sun's research focuses on ancient DNA analysis and conservation genomics, particularly examining endangered and potentially extinct species across diverse taxonomic groups. Their work bridges evolutionary biology, population genetics, and genomic adaptation mechanisms, with significant contributions to understanding species like tigers, leopards, otters, reindeer, wolves, and island birds. A distinctive aspect of their research involves combining historical specimens with contemporary genetic data to reconstruct population histories and inform conservation strategies.
Analysis of Dr. Sun's publications (2023-2025) reveals a consistent application of genomic techniques to critical conservation questions across multiple geographical regions. Key research themes include species verification (Javan tiger study), historical population dynamics (Eurasian otters using hunting trophies), adaptation mechanisms in extreme environments (Svalbard reindeer), and genetic rescue approaches for endangered populations (island passerines).
Dr. Sun maintains an extensive collaborative network evident in multi-institutional publications, with research gaining significant academic attention through Wikipedia references, news coverage, and social media discussion across platforms including X and Bluesky. Their work demonstrates methodological rigor in ancient DNA analysis and contributes to broader conversations about wildlife conservation and species preservation.
