Mission
Our mission is to explore and exploit the genetic variation underlying the
phenotypic diversity occurring in nature, and to make our achievements
available to the scientific community and to society. This goal is targeted by
multidisciplinary approaches bridging genetics, biochemistry, cell biology and
bioinformatics that serve to:
- analyse structural and functional features of genomes
- study evolutionary dynamics of genomes and population genetics
- link genetic diversity with phenotypic variation
- discover the molecular basis of complex traits
- describe, simulate and predict biological processes through algorithms and
bioinformatics tools
- characterise, protect and exploit natural resources relevant to
agriculture, food and non-food industry
- promote innovation by transferring the results of research to the industry
- disseminate the scientific culture
