Research Interest
The genomics, bioinformatics, molecular evolution and other methods were used to study the genomes of parasites, parasitic fungi and bacteria and to analyze the gradual evolutionary rules of their genomes. Including the evolution of important gene families, secondary metabolic pathways, secreted proteins, transporters, toxin formation and their interactions with the host at the genomic level.
