Patrick Wincker, Olivier Jaillon
Genoscope, Institut de Génomique du CEA, France
The Genoscope is investigating the genomics and transcriptomics of plankton community, with particular emphasis on :
- Sequencing metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, and reference genomes from TARA stations.
- Assembly and annotation of individual and community genomes and transcriptomes.
- Comparative metagenomics of eukaryotes.
- Variability in the genome organization of marine eukaryotes.
- Genomics of association between diverse genera seen through single-cell or single-organism sequencing.
