Have you ever wondered why there are so many species in the world?
Have you ever wanted to explore how geography shapes the distribution and evolution of biodiversity?
Are you passionate about biodiversity conservation and believe that molecular technologies can make it more effective?
These are the questions that drive our research!
At BBG (Biogeography and Biodiversity Genomics Lab), we use advanced molecular and computational tools to investigate questions related to biogeography, bio-environmental processes, and the evolution of biodiversity. Our current projects include using ddRAD-seq to study the population structure of dolphins and applying environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to assess terrestrial biodiversity in Taiwan. Looking ahead, our research will expand to explore evolutionary genomics of aquatic species using whole-genome sequencing and RNA-seq, particularly in the context of climate change and human impact.
