About the Team

Ye's Team of Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute

The primary focus of the team is molecular ecology/functional genomics of marine algae

We search for most promising candidate species (robust, fast growing, high lipid content) and cheap ways (e.g. wastewater) to grow for feedstock, investigate genetic regulatory network of lipid or polysaccharide synthesis, and explore the potential of genetic manipulation to enhance lipid or polysaccharide production in algae.

Talent Team Members

Naihao Ye (叶乃好)

Professor, Director

He devoted himself to the marine algae in biological evolution and mechanism of diversity , population evolution trend and mechanism, metabolic remodeling mechanism and the potential ecological effects.

Xiao Fan (范晓)

Associate Research Fellow

His research interests include the evolution of photosynthetic biological systems, bioinformatics, marine algal genomics and Epigenetics, focusing on endosymbiosis and horizontal gene transfer in early marine algal evolution.

Ziwen Liu (刘子文)

Bioinformatics Student

She is majoring in biology science with a focus on bioinformatics. She develops programs to solve biological problems in Java, Python and R.

Wei Zhang (张薇)

Data Scientist

Her major interest is gene editing technology and gene evolution and function. She assisted in data calculation and visualization with hundreds of genomes.
