معرفی
Xueyan Shen is an active researcher at James Cook University, specializing in aquaculture genetics and genomics. Their work focuses on improving fish breeding and health through advanced genomic techniques. Key research areas include quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, transcriptomic analysis of reproductive and immune systems, and genome assembly for commercially significant fish species like Asian seabass, cobia, and Malabar snapper.
Research interests include:
- Aquaculture genetics and selective breeding strategies
- Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of fish species
- Disease resistance mechanisms in aquaculture
- Functional genomics for trait enhancement
Their publications (2016-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on genomic applications in aquaculture. Recent trends include sex determination marker development, dietary impacts on fish physiology, and validation of genome assemblies. Work frequently employs RNA sequencing, QTL mapping, and comparative genomics to address practical challenges in fish farming.
