Then we can understand the genetic structure of a population and the genetic features of an animal, which is useful for designing an optimum breeding program. In particular, we are interested in genetic evaluation using genomic information and the genetic diversity in the animal population. Through our research activity, young scientists are encouraged to acquire the necessary knowledge and techniques to pursue scientific careers in quantitative genetics in the post-genome era.<\/p>\n<table class=\"el_table_fix\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 20%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas04_animal\/IBI Takayuki2.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"408\"><\/th>\n<td style=\"width: 80%\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Assoc.
