Next generation sequencing technology opening new frontiers in biological and medical research. University of Antwerp
Exploiting Next Generation Sequencing to identify key-players in Arabiodopsis thaliana hypocotyl expansion. University of Antwerp
Next generation sequencing in molecular genetics for hereditary breast cancer, an emerging new strategy Ghent University
Germline BRCA1&2 mutations do not explain a large proportion of the families with hereditary breast cancer. This bilateral research project aims to gain insight in the role of ATM, BRIP1, CHEK2 and PALB2 mutations in Flemish and Québec breast cancer families using the next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The expertise of both research groups in complementary: the Flemish group will be strongly involved in the development of an ...
Next generation sequencing to analyze the quasispecies evolution of influenza A virus in the immune host Ghent University
Next generation sequencing will be applied to study the evolution of the influenza A virus in the immune host. The aim of this research is to better understand how influenza viruses evolve under selection pressure of the vaccinated host.
Identification of novel genes implicated in Charcot-Marie- Tooth neuropathies using next generation whole genome sequencing. University of Antwerp
Identification of novel genes implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathies using next generation full genome sequencing. University of Antwerp
Wavelet-based functional models for the analysis of next generation sequencing data Ghent University
This project focuses on the development of functional models for the analysis of next generation sequencing data. The key idea underlying its motivation is to model the genomic data as a wavelet based functional model, allowing efficient and annotation agnostic data analysis on a genomic scale.
Next generation animal tracking – deciphering the ecological code University of Antwerp
Deciphering the molecular pathogenesis of neuroblastoma through next generation genome analysis Ghent University
In this project, the newest technologies in human genetics (massively parallel sequencing and ultra-high throughput qPCR) will be used to better understand the molecular mechanisms causing neuroblastoma, a highly lethal pediatric malignancy, with perspectives for development of targeted therapies.
