National Research Infrastructure of Agronomic BRCs

RARe is a research infrastructure registered on the National Roadmap of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI).

MESRI

The infrastructure is based on five networks, called "pillars", of Biological Resource Centres (BRCs) conserving genetic, genomic and biological resources assembled and characterized by agricultural research, as well as associated data on domestic animals, model or cultivated plants, wild relatives of domesticated animals, forest trees, micro-organisms of agronomic or agri-food interest, micro-organisms and organisms of the environment.

RARe will be present at the Rendez-vous Carnot 2024

October 16 at the Palais des congrès de Massy (91)

The animal (CRB-Anim), environment (BRC4Env) and plant (BRC4Plants) pillars of RARe will be present to help you discover the RARe infrastructure, the range of our agro-environmental resources and our expertise in the service of public research and industrial.

The resources preserved by the RARe CRBs constitute both a heritage, resulting from years of research, innovation and development, and an asset for carrying out future research intended to respond to major research challenges, whether fundamental (knowledge of living things, individuals or ecosystems, understanding of the dynamics of biodiversity) or finalized (adaptation to climate change, ecosystem services, food, health, biotechnology).

Center INRAE Jouy-en-Josas - webinar

CRB-Anim at EuroFAANG Workshop “G2P in a dish

This workshop, entitled “G2P by organoids Workshop”, will bring together scientific specialists from the European EuroFAANG network. The theme will focus on the potential of cell systems and genome editing in farmed species to validate hypotheses and explore new ones, while respecting the ethical principles of the 3Rs.
The European Biobanking Week (EBW) congress is jointly organized by ESBB (the European, African and Middle Eastern Society for Biobanking and Biopreservation) and BBMRI-ERIC (the European Research Infrastructure for Biobanking and Biomedical Research). The 2024 edition took place from May 14 to 17 at the Hofburg conference center in Vienna, Austria.
The CRB Citrus is based at the INRAE center in Corsica, and houses one of the world's finest citrus collections at San Giuliano. This INRAE-Cirad collection is certified Centre de Ressources Biologiques (CRB) ISO9001 and includes over 1,100 varieties. This partnership will enable the exchange of scientific knowledge on citrus fruit and the implementation of experiments in the context of adaptation to climate change.
The Atlas français des champignons du sol was published in April 2024 by BIOTOPE and Publications Scientifiques du MNHN. This original work presents the composition, organization and distribution of soil fungal communities. It represents a breakthrough in our knowledge of soils, and is part of a general drive to meet the challenge of soil conservation over the coming decades.
