Research

IGA conducts research devoted to explore and exploit the genetic variability of living organisms.
Its main fields of activity are

• the development of molecular and bioinformatic tools for the analysis of structure and function of genomes
• the analysis of genetic resources relevant to the agriculture and non-food crops industry, and the exploitation of this variability in breeding programs.

The activity relies on research projects and contracts granted by public agencies and private companies.
