Unité de Recherche Génomique-Info (URGI)

Laboratory presentation

The URGI laboratory is a research unit in genomics and bioinformatics of the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA), dedicated to plants and their pathogens. His research focuses on data integration and genome structure and dynamics. The laboratory conceives an information system, and develops analysis tools. Its work is made available through the URGI platform of the French Institute of Bioinformatics platform network. Some are undertaken with important industrial partners such as Biogemma or Florimond-Desprez.
