On Wednesday 27 May 2026, Chris from Eco-Flow spoke at the Mini-Symposium on Evolutionary Genomics, hosted by the Department of Biology at KU Leuven.
The talk
“Extensive genome rearrangements in the haplodiploids: a novel pipeline for syntenic break” looked at how chromosomes have been reshuffled across the haplodiploid insects, and how to detect and quantify those rearrangements at scale with Eco-Flow/synteny, our Nextflow pipeline built to nf-core standards.
The visit was also a chance to introduce Nextflow and the nf-core community to evolutionary genomicists who hadn’t used them before.
The programme
The symposium also included talks from Emilia Santos (University of Cambridge) on the genomic and developmental basis of colour-pattern evolution, and Sozos Michaelides (Concordia University) on lake trout adaptations in a large postglacial lake.
Thank you to Tom Wenseleers for the invitation.
