معرفی
Dr. Xuan Li, PhD, is a researcher at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Groningen, Netherlands, affiliated with the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences. Their work focuses on the genomic and evolutionary dynamics of sex determination systems in insects.
- PhD in Genetics and Evolution from University of Groningen (2022)
Dr. Li's research investigates how sex chromosomes originate from autosomes through acquisition of sex-determining genes. They use the housefly (Musca domestica) as a model organism due to its polymorphic sex determination system across populations. Their studies include localization of male-determining (M) loci, analysis of genomic variation, and evolutionary reconstruction of translocation events. They also explore biocontrol applications using triploid parasitoids.
Key publication trends include comparative genomics of proto-Y chromosomes, population-level variation in sex determiners, and genetic mapping of reproductive traits in wasps. Their work spans evolutionary biology, genetics, and applied entomology, with methodological emphasis on DNA sequencing and population surveys.
