主要研究方向

研究方向为肠道微生物整合生物学研究。具体围绕不同动物类群，通过跨学科、大数据、多组学的整合生物学研究，来探讨动物肠道微生物与动物适应性性进化的关系，不仅要揭示肠道微生物-动物宿主协同进化的环境驱动力，也要发现影响动物表型进化的肠道微生态机制，为建立动物表型定向进化的肠道微生态干预策略提供理论依据和微生物资源。

1.动物肠道微生物与动物适应性性进化

适应性进化是进化生物学领域的研究热点。一直以来，大多数研究都是利用人或动物自身基因组的变异来探讨动物适应性进化的分子机制。近年来，越来越多的研究表明，除了动物自身基因组之外，动物的第二套基因组（肠道微生物组）在维持动物正常生理代谢、免疫、发育、认知等功能方面具有重要的作用，表明两套基因组（也被成为“全基因组-Hologenomes”）及其相互作用有利于动物对极端环境或新环境的适应。因此，本研究方向重点是系统整合两套基因组信息，结合代谢组、蛋白组、培养组等组学工具，利用进化基因组学、系统生物学等多学科交叉的优势，探讨自然选择和人工选择下动物适应性进化的全基因组机制。

2.肠道微生物与多细胞动物宿主的协同进化

动物对极端环境或新环境的适应过程中，实际上也伴随着肠道微生物与动物宿主的长期协同进化，最终形成了互利共生（mutualism）、共生（symbiosis）、寄生（parasitism）三种互作关系。那么，理解肠道微生物与动物宿主如何协同进化进而形成上诉三种互作关系的机制机理，将有助于我们靶向肠道微生物，调控或干预动物宿主的健康和疾病。为此，本研究方向重点瞄准青藏高原哺乳动物类群，来探讨肠道微生物与动物宿主的协同进化机制，力求为靶向肠道微生物干预或调控动物复杂性状提供重要的进化生物学理论基础。

3. 以线虫、无菌小鼠、无菌猪以及灵长类动物为模型，探索肠道微生物干预或调控动物复杂性状的机制机理，比如长寿衰老、低氧适应、免疫促进等。
