Gene@Home - Newsletter June 2013
The National Resources Centre for Plant Genomics (CNRGV), unique in France and Europe, is in charge of genomic resources aiming at the characterization of complex genomes. The CNRGV interacts with laboratories around the world as services provider or through collaboration. The CNRGV is a reliable partner to assist your projects in genomic research. Thanks to its website, with more than 2000 visits per month, the CNRGV allows laboratories to directly order clones and services, on-line.
More than 10 Millions samples are now available at CNRGV: http://cnrgv.toulouse.inra.fr/Library
New Genomic Libraries available :

We have also produced genomic libraries on demand, from DNA extraction to colony picking, in the frame of collaboration with several laboratories. Under construction : Common Bean, Amur grape, Casuarina, Oat, and Sage.

Non gridded BAC library
The BAC libraries are an invaluable tool for genome analysis, physical mapping, map-based cloning and sequencing projects. Screening BAC libraries gives the opportunity to isolate gene from large insert clones, to characterize disease locus, to make positional cloning, to study polymorphism, genome evolution and genetic variability or to explore the biodiversity. However, the construction and organization of BAC libraries can be laborious and costly especially for large and complex genomes. These consuming steps are preventing widespread application of this technology in the research community. In order to focus directly on a genomic region of interest in specific genotypes and rapidly isolate BAC clones spanning a genomic region, we have developed a non-gridded BAC library approach. The aim of this approach is to save time and reduce costs associated with the re-arraying, screening and storage of many BAC clones and to access more efficiently the sequence diversity of plant cultivars in specific regions.
This non gridded library strategy combined with NGS technology (using 454 technology), has proven to be an efficient way to directly target genomic region of interest and explore the variability among specific genotypes.
