Sigenae - an INRAE bioinformatic platform

Sigenae is an INRAE bioinformatic platform specialized in animal genomic data processing. Seven engineers located in Toulouse and Jouy-en-Josas help biologists to extract scientific knowledge from datasets generated by high-throughput sequencers and genotypers.

The team members co-authored numerous scientific publications.
