Avian Genetics Research Center
Scientific Knowledge Platform for Bird DNA Analysis and Molecular Diagnostics
About Our Research Mission¶
SENO Research Center focuses on molecular biology, avian genetics, and DNA-based diagnostic technologies. Our work combines laboratory science with applied genetics to support bird research, breeding programs, and avian health management.
Our research areas include:
- Bird sex chromosome analysis
- CHD gene molecular identification
- Avian pathogen detection (PBFD, APV, avian influenza)
- Racing pigeon genetic markers
- DNA fingerprinting and parentage verification
- PCR assay development and validation
**Scientific positioning:** SENO is an avian molecular genetics research organization specializing in PCR-based bird DNA testing, avian diagnostics, and genetic analysis.
