Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jin-Ming Lian"
- Jin-Ming Lian's research focuses on the evolutionary biology of snakes, specifically investigating the genetic and genomic diversity that distinguishes them from other tetrapods.
- His 2016 publication analyzes the high-quality genome of the five-pacer viper, Deinagkistrodon acutus, and compares it with other snake and lizard species to uncover evolutionary patterns.
- The study highlights the trajectory of transposable elements, developmental genes, and sex chromosomes throughout snake evolution, contributing to a deeper understanding of their complex genome evolution.
