Population Health and Reproduction

Dr. Penedo’s main research experience and expertise are in the study of genetic markers in several major species of domestic animals. She is a recognized leading researcher in the molecular genetic studies of the South American camelids. Most recently she has focused on the study of genetic diversity of rhesus macaques. Dr. Penedo has also assumed the research projects in horse genomics that had been initiated by the late Dr. Ann Bowling. These projects pertain to the development of a genome-scan microsatellite panel for linkage analysis and chromosomal location of traits of interest.
