My scientific background is on beef nutrigenomics.
I’ve been also working on the analysis of KEGG pathways and Gene Ontology terms from this transcriptomics data using the Dynamic Impact Approach bioinformatics new technique.
In general, my specific research aims are to:
- Define potential markers for marbling deposition and growth efficiency in beef cattle.
- Determine epigenetic regulators that might inhibit or enhance muscle growth and adipose tissue deposition in beef cattle; and
- Characterize the administration of nutrients that might generate epigenetic changes (DNA methylation, acetylation, microRNAs) that will affect the transcriptome profile with noticeable phenotypic effects on beef carcass quality and/or animal performance.
