Acuigen, xenética para a acuicultura e para a conservación de recursos biolóxicos

Intereses

A miña actividade investigadora tense centrado na análise dos xenomas e xenética poboacional de organismos acuáticos, sobre todo peixes e moluscos. Teño participado en proxectos aplicados á conservación de recursos xenéticos e en programas de cría e mellora xenética en acuicultura, en colaboración coas administracións e empresas do sector. Tamén, en estudos de xenómica a nivel estrutural e funcional, en relación ao estudo de procesos biolóxicos de interese evolutivo e produtivo. Os meus intereses de investigación inclúen a integración de mapas xenéticos, cromosómicos e físicos, o mapeo comparativo, a análise de QTL e xenes candidatos, e a xenómica poboacional.
