Call 2021 for "Large scale sequencing projects"
FRANCE GÉNOMIQUE opens a new call for Large Sequencing Projects. These projects will be submitted by Public Research laboratories (CNRS, INSERM, INRAe, CEA, CIRAD, IRD, University Laboratories, Foundations...), and will be carried out by CEA's national platforms (Genoscope and CNRGH).

Large scale projects France Génomique: The origin of domestic horses finally established
The modern domestic horse originated in the Pontic steppes, in the northern Caucasus, where it was first domesticated before conquering the rest of Eurasia in just a few centuries. This is the result of a study led by paleogeneticist Ludovic Orlando, from CNRS, who heads an international team involving the University of Toulouse 3 - Paul Sabatier, the CEA and the University of Evry. This answer to a decades-old enigma is published in Nature on October 20, 2021. This study was carried out in part within the framework of the large scale projects of the France Genomics call for proposals.

International Symposium on Environmental and Agronomical Genomics
This year the Environmental and Agronomical Genomics symposium will be jointly organised by France Génomique and the GDR “Génomique Environnementale”. The symposium will be held in Tours in France, from the 27th to the 29th October 2021.
A new director for FG
Following the departure of Pierre Le Ber from the CEA, to join the private sector, the management of the national infrastructure France Génomique was taken over in January by Patrick Wincker (Genoscope director) and Denis Milan (Scientific director of GeT-PlaGe). Patrick Wincker also became the new Scientific and Technical Manager of the PIA France Génomique project.
On this occasion, Pedro Oliveira (Génoscope) joined the executive committee of France Génomique that is now formed of Patrick Wincker (Génoscope, Evry), Denis Milan (GeT, Toulouse), Jean-François Deleuze (CNRGH, Evry), Pascal Barbry (UCAGenomix, Nice), Pedro Oliveira, Claudine Médigue (Microscope, Evry) and Christine Gaspin (Bioinfo Genotoul, Toulouse), and assisted by Marie Thérèse Bihoreau and Emilie Cros .
