Sijia Wang

Sijia Wang's research interest rooted from the genetic variation and its sources in human populations. During his PhD, Sijia studied genetic structure in Native American and Mestizo populations, and developed particular interest in natural selection in human genome. Sijia currently is focusing on 1)developing methods of detecting natural selection in admixed populations; 2) detecting signatures of natural selection in high-altitude populations; and 3) pursuing signatures of natural selection in East Asian populations.
