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: https://t.co/X79iEVuKCv

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! 🧪🧬👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

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

[Tom Jenkins @Tom__Jenkins]

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
