Today it was Amber’s last presentation before she leaves the RIVM. She has been working here for more than 10 years but she will now start a new challenge as a data scientist. She, however, gave a very nice presentation about the methods she has used to compare (fungal) isolates within the same species. She mainly talked about the Split Kmer Analysis (SKA) toolkit for SNP analysis. She also mentioned her experience with iq-Tree for making phylogenetic trees and with iTOL to visualize them.
Besides the presentation, it was one of our last opportunities to learn from her as a colleague. We are certainly going to miss her!
