Created in 2015, Toulouse Métropole is a group of 37 municipalities associated in order to develop and carry out together a project of a territory layout. Its status allows the EPCI (public establishment of intercommunal cooperation) to provide skills to the collectivites in order to standardise the life area and help them to manage their development. The aim is become one of the most important cities in Europe and offer to the inhabitants qualitative local services.
Plasmid publishes original research on genetic elements in all kingdoms of life with emphasis on maintenance, transmission and evolution of extrachromosomal elements. Objects of interest include plasmids, bacteriophages, mobile genetic elements, organelle DNA, and genomic and pathogenicity islands.
Plasmid welcomes topics such as horizontal gene transfer, including antibiotic resistance transfer, and molecular aspects of microbial ecology. It also welcomes applications of plasmid biology to biotechnology and medicine, and of bioinformatics for studies of genomes. The journal is a bi-monthly that publishes full articles, short communications and reviews.
New England Biolabs (NEB) offers the broadest range of recombinant and native enzymes for genomics research and continues to expand its portfolio in the areas of high-throughput sequencing on Illumina, Ion Torrent or Oxford NanoPore Technology systems, real-time (RT)-qPCR PCR, nucleic acid manipulation, proteomics, glycobiology and epigenetics.
Founded in 1974 in Ipswich (USA), NEB remains a privately held company that continues to be committed to basic research and supplies the academic and industrial research market, in addition to custom products for drug discovery and molecular diagnostics. In this sense, NEB has opened a GMP production center since the end of 2018. NEB is represented worldwide through its 8 subsidiaries.
Microbial Genomics is the open access journal of choice for pioneering research in genomics in microbial life. We welcome articles showing novel insights, exciting new applications, or innovative approaches to analysis using genomic data, as well as articles developing our understanding of microbial genomics, from large, long-term studies on microbial evolution and epidemiology to studies with immediate clinical or environmental relevance.
DNA is an international peer-reviewed open access journal. DNA publishes novel research findings, reviews and communications in DNA-related technologies, genomic structure, bioinformatics and cytogenomics. There is an emphasis on the highest scientific quality and a “sequence to consequence” philosophy. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish work with the broadest possible scientific appeal, prioritising studies in which changes in DNA sequence and structure have phenotypic ramifications, both for the individual (including clinical application) and for evolution. We accept manuscripts on all aspects of DNA and DNA-related technologies.
Microorganisms is a scientific, peer-reviewed, open access journal of microbiology, published monthly online by MDPI. The Hellenic Society Mikrobiokosmos (MBK), the Spanish Society for Nitrogen Fixation (SEFIN) and the Society for Microbial Ecology and Disease (SOMED) are affiliated with the Microorganisms, and their members receive a discount on the article processing charges.
BCCM/GeneCorner is an entity of the non-profit consortium 'Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM)', and is embedded in the Department of Biomedical Molecular Biology (UGent) and the VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research.
BCCM is supported by the federal government and provides scientific services worldwide, to both academic institutions and industry.
BCCM is ISO9001:2015 certified.
The Center for Integrative Biology in Toulouse (CBI Toulouse) regroups five research departments (LMGM, LBME, LBCMCP, CBD, CRCA) that form a strong pole in post-genomic biology, with a total of about 400 researchers. It brings together high-level research groups involved in the understanding of fundamental biological processes including genome dynamics and expression, morphogenesis and development, cognition and behaviour. Importantly, these questions are tackled at different scales, from isolated molecules to organisms in society.
The objective of the CBI is to foster synergies between these teams through the integration of multi-scale information in order to design new biological models and meet the immense scientific and technological challenges in post-genomic biology. Thanks to its structuring nature, its critical mass and the complementary skills of its staff, the CBI is a major site of multi-scale integrative biology. The CBI develops its scientific project along four federative axes: "Genome Dynamics", "Cell Dynamics and Development", "Molecular, Cellular and Behavioral Neurosciences" and "Computational and Systems Biology".
From 2020 on, all five departments will be regrouped in a unique location thanks to the construction of a new building on the campus of the University of Toulouse-Paul Sabatier.
