Development of a Centre for Whole Genome Sequencing studies of Mycobacterium. University of Antwerp
experimental exploration of the uncertain road from whole genome duplication to evolutionary success Ghent University
Polyploidisation or whole genome duplication (WGD), is a widespread phenomena amongst
Eukaryotes but is especially abundant in the plant lineage. The extra genome copy can open a road
to evolutionary success by providing genetic material that is free to evolve new functionalities.
Nevertheless, WGD is generally not well tolerated due to subsequent changes in cell geometry and
genomic shock. ...
Whole Genome Sequencing to streamline TB diagnosis, improve TB surveillance and optimize individualized TB treatment: a pragmatic trial. University of Antwerp
Whole genome sequencing. A 'genetic' report for every child? KU Leuven
A personalized recommendation system for whole genome sequencing based and individualized tuberculosis treatment. University of Antwerp
Identification of novel genes implicated in Charcot-Marie- Tooth neuropathies using next generation whole genome sequencing. University of Antwerp
Demonstration of yet undiscovered dentrification genes in Gram positive bacteria via whole genome sequencing Ghent University
Denitrification is a redundant enzymatic process. Known denitrification genes could not yet been demonstrated in many gram positive bacteria despite the presence of a clear denitrification capacity. In this project, we will try to underpin the hypothesis that unknown genes are involved in the evolution of fixed nitrogen into nitrogen gas by whole genome sequencing of a selection of denitrifying bacilli.
