Welcome to URGI

URGI - Unité de Recherche Génomique Info is a research unit in genomics and bioinformatics at INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique), bioinformatics laboratory dedicated to plants and crops parasites genomics.

It hosts a bioinformatics platform, which belongs to the ReNaBi national bioinformatics network. Services offered cover database design, software engineering, software hosting, data integration, genomics annotation support and support to bioinformatics analysis.

The URGI activity research topics covers genome dynamics from a functional and an evolutionary perspectives. A strong emphasis is made on repeats: their annotation, their impact on the genome, and their evolution.

What's new?

January 26th 2010	REPET : The release 1.3.6 of this pipeline is now available and contact us to obtain it.
January 20th 2010	GnpMap : New poplar QTLs are now available with GnpMap . About Populus deltoides and trichocarpa, the new QTLs are on the pop2_Populustrichocarpa_16042009 and pop2_Populusdeltoides_16042009 maps.
January 20th 2010	GnpMap : New cotton maps are now available with GnpMap . these maps are : GV_RIL and GV_cons GV_cons is a consensus map).
January 15th 2010	MetaQTL project : The web page of this project is now online, it presents the aim and the partners engaged.
January 13th 2010	Parsers for GnpSNP exchange formats : tools are available on our website to ease the data submission: The last version of the SSR excel format parser allows to generate all the files of the SSR exchange format with a simple excel format in input. You also find a template of this input format. The version 0.5 of GenalysToUrgi parser that generate all the non-static files of the SNP/Indels exchange format using a Genalys excel output.
