Plant Genomes' Day 2014 : Achievements, challenges and future for plant genomics
The French Plant Genomic Resource Center (CNRGV) was created 10 years ago by the INRA based on a French ministry decision. The aim of this new structure was to maintain and valorize genomic resources developed at that time in the framework of first plants genomic large-scale projects. During the past decade the CNRGV has developed its activity, offering more and more resources and new technical services following the goal to meet the needs of the plant genomic community and support their efforts.

| To celebrate our tenth anniversary we want to take the opportunity to look back at the contributions of genomics in plant research and to imagine the future. Thus we are very pleased to invite you to attend the Plant Genomes' Day which will take place in Toulouse on June 4th, 2014. |
During this day, scientists who played a major role in the development of plant genomics will present several major projects and share their points of view regarding the future and expectations. In addition to the opportunity to attend fascinating conferences, we will also take time to exchange. The conference will be followed by a friendly social event.
Confirmed speakers :
| Vincent Colot - CNRS - France | Patrick Schnable - Iowa State University - USA |
| Kellye Eversole - Eversole Associates - USA | Nils Stein - IPK - Germany |

New Genomic Libraries available :
|
| More than 10 Millions samples are now available at CNRGV: http://cnrgv.toulouse.inra.fr/Library 63 new BAC libraries constructed in 2013 by the CNRGV, including BAC libraries of specific genotypes of wheat, barley, rye, maize and new species like sage. |
From plant to gene: A targeted approach to characterize your genomic region of interest within the most relevant cultivar
To access rapidly to a genomic region of interest within a specific genotype we have developed the non-gridded BAC library strategy. This strategy aims to isolate BAC clones spanning a genomic region avoiding time and cost expensive steps of organization of BAC clones in microplates. Thus it is possible to explore more readily the plant diversity.
The non-gridded BAC library strategy is already applied in several research subjects. Read more...
