Rate My Professor Korena Paterson

Prior to her current position, Korena A. Paterson was involved in animal genetics research at AgResearch Wallaceville Animal Research Centre, collaborating with the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Otago. She co-authored key publications in sheep genomics, including 'Discovery of quantitative trait loci for resistance to parasitic nematode infection in sheep: I. Analysis of outcross pedigrees' (BMC Genomics, 2006), 'Distribution of prion protein genotypes in breeds of sheep in New Zealand' (New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 2007), 'Microsatellite Evolution: Testing the Ascertainment Bias Hypothesis' (Genetics Selection Evolution, 1998), 'An Enhanced Linkage Map of the Sheep Genome Comprising More Than 1000 Loci' (Genome Research, 2001), 'High-resolution gametic map of the sheep callipyge region: linkage heterogeneity among rams detected by sperm typing' (2001), and contributions to mapping the horns locus in sheep. According to ResearchGate, she has 47 research works with 746 citations, reflecting her contributions to understanding genetic traits such as parasite resistance, prion protein variation, microsatellite evolution, and linkage mapping in sheep.
