The bioinformatics group develops different approaches to infer the biological function of A. thaliana genes and transcriptional regulatory elements. We develop a dedicated public information system (FLAGdb++, CATdb, UTILLdb…) supporting the URGV genomic platforms and projects. These databases are useful for comparative plant genomics and transfer of knowledge from model plant genomes to plants of agronomical interest. Using this tool, we study, in a multidisciplinary project, the transcriptional re-programming that occurs in the A. thaliana response to biotic and abiotic stresses in order to identify novel gene targets and establish networks in the perspective of biotechnological applications or genetic selection for plant stress resistance.
