Reseaerch Topic

My research focused on the impact of diet on the natural selection of health-related genes. The preliminary idea of this research comprised three parts. Firstly, establishing diet models using Bayesian techniques based on the previously published isotopic data. Then, infer critical parameters of the genes' natural selection and simulate their allele frequency trajectories using mathematical models and time-series aDNA data. The last step uses the maximum likelihood comparison approach to test whether the diet is the primary driver of these genes' natural selection based on the data produced by the previous two stages.
