Anna Maria Johansson

My main interest is population genetics, but all areas of genetics is interesting.    

I am teaching population genetics and sheep breeding.

I am director of studies for undergraduate education at my department.

I am involved in research projects about genetic diversity and population structure in Swedish breeds of chicken, sheep, cattle, goat, and pig. In sheep I am also investigating wool colour and pelt traits.
