Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYiyuan Li is a Professor of Evolutionary Biology and trained bioinformatician with 11 years of experience applying genomics and next-generation sequencing to questions in host–symbiont interactions, insect evolution, and biodiversity monitoring. He holds a PhD from Notre Dame and progressed from graduate research on environmental DNA and insect transcriptomes to postdoctoral work at UT Austin and a faculty role at Ningbo University, publishing multiple first-author papers. Yiyuan combines deep hands-on skills in RNA-seq, metagenomics, assembly and annotation with practical pipeline engineering in Perl, Python, R and shell for high-throughput sample processing. He has partnered with large sequencing centers (BGI) on projects like the 1000 Insect Transcriptome Evolution effort and developed methods that reduce metabarcoding false positives and improve mitochondrial genome assembly. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex evolutionary questions into scalable computational workflows and statistically rigorous analyses.
