GreenPhyl is a component of the SouthGreen platform for plant comparative genomics. It predicts the function of genes based on their evolutionary relationship with genes of known function. The version 2 comprises protein coding genes of 16 plant species fully sequenced including socio-economically important crops like rice, sorghum and maize. The protein coding genes were grouped into gene families in order to predict orthologous relationships by phylogeny based methods.
The aim of ARCAD (Agropolis Resource Centre for Crop Conservation, Adaptation and Diversity) is to set up a new open multi-function platform devoted to the assessment and improved use of plant agrobiodiversity in Mediterranean and tropical regions.
We are in charge of the Bioinformatics project of ARCAD.
JOBIM is a French-speaking conference opened to people working at the borders of biology, data processing, mathematics and physics. It's the scientific appointment of the French-speaking bioinformatics community.
This year, JOBIM will be held on September 7 to 9, 2010 in Montpellier SupAgro (near downtown Montpellier).
