www.nature.com - Alignment of the porcine genome against seven other mammalian genomes (Supplementary Information) identified homologous synteny blocks (HSBs). Using porcine HSBs and stringent filtering criteria, 192 pig-specific evolutionary breakpoint regions...

github.com - pyScaf orders contigs from genome assemblies utilising several types of information: paired-end (PE) and/or mate-pair libraries (NGS-based mode) long reads (NGS-based mode) synteny to the genome of some related species (reference-based...

github.com - The following software packages are known to be compatible with PacBio® data, in addition to PacBio's own SMRT® Analysis suite. All packages are believed to be open source or freely available for non-commercial use. See the individual...

Chromosome breakpoint refers to the physical location where a chromosome is broken and rearranged.

Interested in various topics at the intersection of ecology and evolution. In my research I use rotifers as model organisms for experimental studies at the individual and population level. Rotifers are ideally suited for this, because populations of...

Evolutionary genomics of social insects. Extensive theoretical work has explained how and why complex societies evolve. However, only little is known about the genes and molecular mechanisms responsible for social phenotypes. We have been...

Interested in understanding the evolution of life. To obtain glimpses of such understanding, we employ existing and new methods of computational biology to perform research in several major...

My main topics of interest are: The impact of non tree-like evolution such as horizontal gene transfers and hybridization on species biology Evolution and adaptation of animals in the absence of sexual reproduction and the underlying...

Ongoing research in the group of Karine Van Doninck involves topics at the core of evolutionary biology, including the evolution of sex, genome maintenance, recombination and extreme stress resistance on different eukaryotic systems, including...
