Despite rapid development of genomic technologies, relatively little progress has been made in understanding how DNA controls trait expression in farm animals. The ultimate goal of Dr. Baes research is to understand the genomic architecture of quantitative traits in livestock. In doing so, she aims to improve health, welfare, and efficiency of farm animals using genetic and genomic technologies, and to uncover the relationship between phenotype and genotype. Understanding how desirable and undesirable traits are controlled at the DNA level will accelerate breeding of healthy, disease-resistant animals by several orders of magnitude.

尽管基因组技术发展迅速，但在理解DNA如何控制家畜性状表达方面取得的进展相对较小。Baes博士研究的最终目标是了解牲畜数量性状的基因组结构。在这样做的过程中，她的目标是利用遗传和基因组技术改善农场动物的健康，福利和效率，并揭示表型和基因型之间的关系。了解理想和不理想的性状是如何在DNA水平上控制的，将加速健康、抗病动物的繁殖，提高几个数量级。
