The Genotoul-Bioinfo platform offers several services in sequencing analysis. The team gathers 17 people with expertise in system administration, bioinformatics, and biostatistics. It is a team of the MIAT lab (INRAE-Toulouse). It is an IBiSA labelled platform, and a strategic platform for INRAE. It is certified ISO 9001 and NF-X 50-900. It belongs to Genotoul, the Research Infrastructure BioinfOmics, and the Institut Français de Bioinformatique.
