Laboratory of Biodiversity & Evolutionary Genomics

I'm happy to be at #ISMB2024 in #Montréal 🇨🇦 to present the tool I developped 👩‍💻 to check/refine the assignments of #metabarcoding analyses through a #phylogenetic approach! The tool is available here: github.com/Enorya/Phylo-t… @EmbrcBelgium @SfbiFr @LBEG_Lab @BiologyKULeuven

Are you looking for a postdoc in genomics, color patterns, speciation, or genetic diversity of African cichlids? 🐟 Get in touch if you would like to apply for an @MSCActions @HorizonEU postdoctoral fellowship to join my lab @KU_Leuven @BiologyKULeuven

Biodiversity infrastructure is crucial in research and training. Prof. Jos Snoeks @LBEG_Lab @BiologyKULeuven @KU_Leuven shows fish collections @africamuseumbe to students "Parasitology and One Health" @uhasselt @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @GLW_UHasselt #collectionsareessential

#ERGASeminar | 👉Got a genome? get a phylome! Join @toni_gabaldon on Monday 29.04 at 12:00 CEST to learn more about the many applications of the #phylome approach and how to implement it on newly-sequenced #genomes. @BSC_CNS @IRBBarcelona @BioGenEurope ▶️erga-biodiversity.eu/post/got-a-gen…

#ERGASeminars | Don't miss this upcoming seminar with @toni_gabaldon (@BSC_CNS , @IRBBarcelona) and learn how the #Phylome approach can have various applications in #ComparativeGenomics 🧬 🗓️ April 29 - 12:00 CEST @BioGenEurope @EBPgenome 👉erga-biodiversity.eu/post/got-a-gen…

Super thankful for the large-scale infrastructure funding from @FWOVlaanderen. 🙏🎉 Making accurate single-molecule long-read sequencing 🧬 available to all researchers in Flanders and beyond via @GC_Leuven & @VIBNucleomics will open up exciting new avenues for research! 🧪🧬👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

Dr Tim Maes' work on Bulinus truncatus snails 🐌 (host of the schistosomiasis parasite) is attracting media interest @BiologyKULeuven @KU_Leuven @africamuseumbe google.com/amp/s/www.lali…

Please RT: fully-funded, 4-year PhD position in my group at the University of Zurich 👇

🖥️We are very pleased to announce an upcoming #workshop that will focus on #bestpractices in #data management! FREE EVENT! Join us👇 ub-edu.zoom.us/j/92809902935?… #Biogenoma #CBP

⁉️ How can #genomics inform #conservation practices in a changing world? Don't miss the talks by @OrlyRazgour & Chris Barratt next Wednesday at 11:00 CET to learn more about this important topic! erga-biodiversity.eu/post/using-gen… #ERGA #BioGenome #Seminars @idiv @BioGenEurope

📢 We are hiring: long-term postdoc position in Belgium on historical epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, including #schistosomiasis and #malaria. Please spread the word! uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vacanc… Deadline for application: 30/04/2024 @africamuseumbe @UAntwerpen

Congratulations to doctor Tim Maes for successfully defending his PhD on snail distribution in a warming climate, impacting #schistosomiasis spread. A big thank you to @ASStensgaard @JeromeBoissier and @liesjacobs1 for acting as an excellent jury and their enlightening talks

Spending our weekend doing a first analysis of the results of the @UNESCO eDNA expeditions in marine #worldheritage sites. LOTS of work but so exciting! Soon more. #bigdata #openscience #biodiversity #climatechange #conservation #eDNA #eDNAexpeditions

I've added a function to the mapmixture R📦 specifically to make plotting PCA or DAPC results easier for #popgen #rstats users. • Add centroids to scatter (mean position for group) • Colour by population or by other group (e.g. country) • Plot labels shorturl.at/nJP68

📢 Save the date! 24.01 at 11:00 CET Starting the year with an exciting talk by @steinaerts ➡️erga-biodiversity.eu/post/seminar-m… Don't miss it! #SingleCellGenomics #DeepLearning #genomics @VIBLifeSciences @_VIB_AI @BioGenEurope @EBPgenome

#DataTraining | 📢 Marine scientists: don’t forget @VLIZnews & @ugent is hosting EMBRC-funded #FAIRData training next week 🖥️ Learn why and how to make your data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable 👇 @ugent @VLIZnews

Today we kick off 2024 with a Departmental Research Day. Let’s share, brainstorm, discuss and inspire! 💪🍀

Deze week afl2 van Onze Natuur Doorgrond: duik het water in met Steven Van Belleghem, Robby Stoks, Filip Volckaert en Pieter Lemmens! 🐟🧪🌿 @SVBelleghem, @esee_lab @LBEG_Lab @SET_KULeuven @kuleuven_fwet onzenatuur.be/artikel/onze-n…
