      基因組多樣性和演化
　　物種通過其基因組多樣性所決定的表型多樣性而适應不同的環境。了解生物适應性的自然規律和遺傳基礎，對于生物演化和多樣性的研究至關重要。我們利用現代遺傳學方法，重構物種在種群水平的演化模式，推斷演化過程，研究與物種的表型、行為、種群曆史和系統分類等相關的基本科學問題。目前的研究主要側重于以分子生物學和種群遺傳學為基礎，結合傳統生态學、生物地理學和系統分類學的背景，研究野生及馴化哺乳動物類群尤其是貓科動物的基因組多樣性和适應性的遺傳學機理，具體體現在以下研究方向：
1. 貓科動物及其他物種表型多樣性的遺傳機制和基因組學研究
2. 野生動物基因組多樣性、演化和種群遺傳學研究
3. 中國野生貓科動物的保護生物學
