Our lab studies non-human primates. Based on large-scale genomes, transcriptomes, and epigenomes, we try to reveal the genetic underpinning of the evolution of some complex traits in primates. We also apply reverse genomics and evolutionary biology to reveal unknown phenotypes in primates, because what we know about our close relatives, non-human primates, is largely limited. In addition, we use macaque as a model to study biological mechanisms underlying developmental and aging processes.
