Title Re-advertisement

Decipher Complex Phenotypes via Cross-species Analysis of the Regulatory Genome Research area and project description A fundamental challenge in modern genetics is decoding how non-coding genetic variation regulates gene expression to shape complex phenotypes.

Despite the wealth of GWAS data, the lack of functional insights remains a significant barrier to the advancement of genomic selection in precision agriculture and the implementation of personalized medicine in humans. Objectives This PhD project seeks to revolutionize our understanding of regulatory logic by:

- Developing Novel AI Frameworks:

Building state-of-the-art computational models to identify functional genetic variants that govern gene regulation across diverse species, including farmed animals and humans1 …
