Yan Ju's work spans two loosely connected areas: the molecular biology of plant reproduction and organelle genetics (studying genes controlling pollen dormancy, germination, and mitochondrial DNA in Arabidopsis and rice), and population/conservation genetics of animals such as sika deer, Aoluguya reindeer, and Asian honeybees using mitochondrial DNA and genome-wide data. The common analytical thread is using genetic and genomic tools to understand variation, inheritance, and adaptation in both plants and animals.
