Background

About Judith Risse

I currently work as postdoctoral researcher at NIOO-KNAW with the Animale Ecology group as well as one day a week as researcher in bioinformatics at the chair group of bioinformatics at Wageningen University and Research. In my daily work I work mainly on integrating genetic, genomic, phenotypic and ecological datasets to understand the influence of the (human shaped) environment on evolution of traits with the long term goal to be able to predict direction of adaptation. In my work at Wageningen University I focus on (large) genome assembly and genome annotation. I have broad experience in working with various types of NGS data. I do have particular experience in the assembly of large genomes and transcriptomes, analysing long read sequencing data like Oxford Nanopore, PacBio and 10X Genomics, as well as RADseq analysis for population genetics and linkage mapping, SNP analysis, miRNAs and RNAseq differential expression analyis. I'm personally interested in genome evolution from a population genetics perspective.
