Development of a biodiversity-chip for the biomonitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate communities
The project is a case-study for Flemish Trichoptera and uses our molecular database of selected genetic markers and the variance displayed in their nucleotide sequences.
Development of a generic microarray analysis platform using BASE and Limma
Using BASE (BioArray Software Environment) and some of the R-packages bundled in Bioconductor, we are developing a generic platform for microarray data analysis in close collaboration with the Intelligent Systems Laboratory (University of Antwerp).
Effect of temperature on metal toxicity to zebrafish: frome gene to organismal responses
During recent years ecotoxicology has been an emerging field and its experimental focus has been expanded from using mainly chemical stressors (e.g. cadmium) to assessing the effects of natural or non-chemical stressors (e.g.
Development of a biodiversity chip for the biomonitoring of benthic macro invertebrate communities.
The Biological water quality in Flanders is assessed aplying the Belgian Biotic Index (BBI). The aim of this proposal is the development of a biodiversity chip (DNA-array) for the identification of benthic macro invertebrate communities.
