Consistency in sentencing: a dream or reality? University of Antwerp
Unity of intent when sentencing: the European dimension of ne bis in idem and proportionality Ghent University
“Unity of intent” between different criminal acts impacts upon sentencing in that it will lead to a more lenient penalty. This lineancy seizes to exist in a European/EU context. Based upon a European/EU and comparative law analysis, the current situation will be analysed in light of the ne bis in idem and
proportionality principle.
Improved characterization of Alzheimer's disease genetic risk through fine-mapping and long-read sequencing of DNA and single-nuclei RNA. University of Antwerp
Long-read sequencing for the detection of cryptic structural variation in patients with intellectual disability and congenital anomalies Ghent University
Sabbatical Joris Vermeesch: Computational analyses of large sequencing data sets KU Leuven
Genetics is transforming into genomics, from individual gene analyzes to the analysis of large amounts of genomic data. Where my expertise has been built up in a period of gene research, I want to expand my knowledge of genome research. That will focus on the analysis of large genomic databases and genome assemblies to identify genetic causes of developmental disorders.
SymBioSys: Computationally mapping genomic heterogeneity from long read sequencing data KU Leuven
Integration of long read genome sequencing and single-cell multi-omics to identify genetic variation underlying Parkinson’s disease KU Leuven
In recent years, there have been major developments in ’omics technologies. Long read sequencing now produces highly accurate reads from single molecules with theoretically unlimited length. Long reads enable us to assemble whole human genomes de novo, study complex genomic regions and large structural variants, all of which are particularly difficult through conventional short read technologies. It also allows us to directly study DNA ...
