Abstract:

Given the socio-economic impact of plant and animals and the recent explosion of worldwide sequencing capacity, it is essential to develop tools to handle what will become a massive amount of information from sequenced genomes.The current proposal aims at developing tools to compare genomes to gain insight into plant and animal genome evolution since their common ancestors in terms of genome organisation (gene and repeated sequences) and the development of applicable tools for translational genomics purposes, i.e. transferring information (candidate genes, molecular markers) from sequenced genomes to non-sequenced ones, especially for genetic/physical mapping and future genome sequencing. The PAGE program will develop resources and approaches in comparative genomics and deliver public applicable tools for the scientific community.
The program involves 6 French academic partners from INRA (4 research groups) and CNRS (2 research groups) recognized through their publication records and ongoing collaborations as pioneers and major scientific groups in the field of plant and animal evolutionary genomics.
