SeqOccIn: expertise in sequencing of long DNA fragments

The SeqOccIn (Sequencing Occitanie Innovation) project, supported by Genotoul's INRA platforms GeT-PlaGe (Genome and Transcriptome platform) and Bioinfo (Bioinformatics Platform), has been selected by the Occitanie Region for ERDF funding. This project, which also involves 4 INRA laboratories and 14 companies, is mainly oriented towards the development of advanced expertise in the use of different sequencing technologies, particularly those allowing the sequencing of long DNA fragments into single molecules.

Optical maps to improve our understanding of genome complexity

Plant genomes are particularly complex because of their size and the presence of numerous repeat elements. A clearer understanding of them will enable many of the agronomic improvements that are essential in a context of climate change. The French Plant Genomic Resources Centre (CNRGV) has just acquired an innovative technology that offers a global vision of genome organisation using optical maps. This project obtained funding from the European Union and the Occitanie Regional Council.
