During my master I tried to clarify whether anthropogenic sluice systems affected young upstream migrating European eels. For my PhD research I enthusiastically returned to my long-standing fondness off all things genetic. My research resolves around how the use of metatranscriptomics could help in elucidating certain properties of the microeukaryotic plankton community. This state-of-the art approach is very promising in regard to capturing functional diversity, together with taxonomic information. I am especially eager to use this technique to determine how and which biotic and abiotic gradients or species interactions shape communities in the North Sea. From a technical point of view, I am working with Oxford Nanopore long read sequencing, which I will compare and hopefully combine with Illumina RNA-sequencing. Next to plankton, I have always been very passionate about fish in particular and the more abstract aspects of evolution in general. Otherwise, I also love to talk, discuss and read about animal ( including human) sentience and consciousness.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"AbstractLangCode":null,"AbstractLangID":null,"AutID":404167,"ND":"2019-12-11","UD":"2026-04-01","ORCID":"0000-0003-0246-6413"},"loaninfo":null,"pictures":[{"pic_id":183935,"Typ":3,"Descr":"Person on image","imis_show":1,"preferred":1,"URL":"\/imis?page=image&pic=183935","ext":"jpg","url":"https:\/\/images.vliz.be\/thumbs\/183935_michiel-perneel.jpg"}],"institutes":null,"pastins":[{"instituterec":{"InsID":36,"FullOrigName":"Flanders Marine Institute","Acronym":"VLIZ","Function":"Affiliated Researcher","BeginDay":1,"BeginMonth":12,"BeginYear":2019,"EndDay":31,"EndMonth":3,"EndYear":2026,"Notes":null,"Line1":null,"Line2":null,"Line3":null,"Line4":null,"Phone":"+32-(0)59-33 61 59","GSM":"+32-(0)491-02 39 92","Email":"michiel.perneel@vliz.be","FullStandardName":"Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":null,"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null}],"projects":[{"ProID":5336,"Acronym":null,"Progress":"Progress not set","StandardTitle":"PhD Molecular traits in plankton ecosystem functions and processes","BeginYear":2019,"EndYear":2024}],"datasets":null,"references":{"A1":[{"BRefID":393957,"RR":"Mortelmans, J.; Semmouri, I.; Perneel, M.; Lagaisse, R.; Amadei Mart\u00ednez, L.; Rommelaere, Z.; Habl\u00fctzel, P.; Deneudt, K.<\/b> (2024).
