Research Description

My research involves three fields: Forensic Clinic, Forensic Genetics and Fish Chromosome Evolution.

1. Forensic Clinic

I dealt with more than 5,000 cases in injuries, traffic accidents, medical tangles, etc. Sometimes I was invited to deal with troublesome cases.

My research focuses on how to distinguish injuries and diseases in troublesome cases, the relationships between injuries and diseases, the accurate time of injuries, etc.

2. Forensic Genetics

I deal with lots of cases in paternity identification and personal identification. In 2014, I helped our department gained the score “consent” in the ability verification of paternity identification which was organized by Chinese government.

My research concerns the genotyping low copies of DNA template, and investigating the value of different biomarkers in forensic medicine.

3. Fish Chromosome Evolution

During the period of PhD candidate, my research field was fish chromosome evolution, I am very interested in that field.

There are lots of repetitive DNA sequences (also named “jungle DNA”) in human or other animal genomes, such as Long Interspersed Repetitive Elements (LINE), Short Interspersed Repetitive Elements (SINE), Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR), etc. Up to now, little is known about their functions. However, those “jungle DNA” influence on chromosome evolution, even on species evolution.

I studied the fish chromosome evolution by using cytogenetic methods. The methods involved comparing the location of repetitive DNA sequences on different species chromosomes or sex chromosomes, sometimes concerned DNA sequencing, etc.
