Dr. ADENAIKE, Adeyemi Sunday is a Lecturer I in the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. He holds a First Class Honours Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture, with option in Animal Breeding and Genetics from Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria and also completed his Master’s Programme in Animal Breeding and Genetics (Animal Biotechnology option) in the same University with Distinction. He completed my Ph.D Programme in 2014 in Animal Breeding and Genetics (Animal Biotechnology option). He is very familiar with quantitative and population genetics, molecular genomics, statistical genomics, basic bioinformatics and very comfortable working at the interphase of quantitative and molecular genetics. He is very good in the use of Statistical Analysis System (SAS), SPSS, Excel, Winbugs (for Bayesian analysis) and R software in analysis of genomic data as well as general data using both Window and Linux operating systems.
He has submitted sequences to Genbank with Accession number: (KY494915 – KY494922 for TNFRSF1A) and Zyxin (GenBank accession No. KY560190 – KY560196). These genes are genes he sequenced in his Ph.D work.
Area of Bioinformatics he has run analyses include: Single nucleotide Polymorphism detection, multiple sequences Alignment, Phylogeny tree, Secondary and Tertiary structure prediction, Annotation of sequences using Map viewer, Primer design using Primer3. He uses the following bioinformatics very well DNAsp, MEGA, Clustal W and X, Bioedit, NCBI ORF Finder, Panther, Primer 3 and Mr. Bayes.
The long-term goal of his research activities is to identify genes that influence immune response and disease resistance of chickens to avian pathogens. He is currently into investigating the genetics of resistance to Salmonella disease, an economically important disease of chickens. Collaborative studies with senior colleagues are also underway to evaluate coccidiosis, a protozoan disease of the chicken intestinal tract. His emphasis is on the major histocompatibility complex, a gene complex whose products influence T lymphocyte function, as well as other chicken genes throughout the genome. I am studying MHC Class II (BLB) gene in chicken, He has looked at its expression using RT-PCR and wish to study many MHC genes through Gene enrichment analysis and Pathway analysis. He routinely uses SNP markers to genotype chickens and search for genes affecting immune response and disease resistance.
