The IGBMC Bioinformatics Platform is a high-throughput platform for comparative and structural genomics.
Its goal is to:
collect, maintain and deliver to the scientific community a wide range of bioinformatics resources addressing biological issues from studies of normal or pathological cells and genes to drug discovery.
develop innovative solutions and participate actively in local, regional, national and international scientific programs.
diffuse the software and databases developped by the Laboratoire de Bio-informatique et Génomique Intégratives, including analysis tools for high throughput functional or structural genomics and integrative biological studies.
share and diffuse its knowledge and expertise by organising and participating in conferences and educational courses.
The platform is accessible for external laboratories at the local, regional, national and international levels.
The Strasbourg Bioinformatics Platform was identified in 2003 as Plate-forme Nationale RIO and Génopôle Grand-Est – « from gene to drug ».
In order to meet at best the requirements of its users, partners and collaborators, the platform initiated in january 2005 a Quality Managenent System inspired from the ISO9001:2000 norm.

RNAspace is a platform which aims at providing an integrated environment for non-coding RNA annotation. This service is provided by GenoToul.
The increasing number of ncRNA discovered since 2000 and the lack of user friendly tools for finding and annotating them, have made necessary to propose to biologists an in silico environment allowing structural and functional annotations of these molecules with regard to available protein genes annotation environments.

Le Centre de Bioinformatique de Bordeaux (CBIB) a pour vocation de fédérer et de stimuler les projets de recherche en bioinformatique, de satisfaire les besoins bioinformatiques liés aux activités de recherche des laboratoires de biologie de la région et d’être un centre de ressources ouvert à l’ensemble de la communauté par la mise à disposition de services en accès public via le WEB.
La recherche en bioinformatique du CBiB se développe autour de deux axes :
- l’application à la biologie de travaux de recherche en informatique menés au Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique (LaBRI) de l’Université Bordeaux 1,
- le développement de nouvelles méthodes et de nouveaux outils pour exploiter les données de génomique et de génomique fonctionnelle.
Pour satisfaire les besoins des laboratoire de biologie, le CBIB :
- assure la mise à disposition et la maintenance de ressources publiques (bases de données, programmes…) sur son centre de calcul,
- offre un support (accueil, assistance et formation) aux utilisateurs de ces ressources,
- réalise des prestations « à façon » dans le cadre de collaborations scientifiques autour de projets de recherche portés par des laboratoires de biologie.
Enfin, le CBiB s’efforce de rendre accessible à travers son site WEB l’ensemble des ressources (bases de données, programmes) déployées : qu’il s’agisse de ressources publiques installées sur les machines du CBiB ou de ressources développées au sein même du CBiB.
