GenOuest is hosted at Inria centre at Rennes University and IRISA Laboratory. At IRISA laboratory, GenOuest is included in the DKM (Data and Knowledge Management) department. GenOuest is in strong relationship with two bioninformatics research teams common with Inria, Rennes University, CNRS into IRISA Laboratory : Dyliss and GenScale.
GenOuest is a technological platform of Rennes University. All the GenOuest infrastructure (computer room, offices) is hosted in Univ Rennes buildings.
Since many years, a strong partnership exists between GenOuest and INRAE. The BIPAA and BBIP platforms are hosted on GenOuest to provide their bioinformatics resources and expertise for the communities working on Agro-ecosystems Insects (Aphids, Lepidopterans, ParasitoĂŻd Wasps) and Brassicacae.
GenOuest is a member of Biogenouest. Biogenouest is a life science and environment core facility network in Western France. Research programmes are undertaken in the fields of Marine biology, Agriculture/Food-processing, Human health, and Bioinformatics.
Biogenouest coordinates 38 technological core facilities in both the Brittany and Pays de la Loire regions.
With the ABiMS and BiRD bioinformatics facilities, GenOuest has received an IBiSA label during the 2019 call for a data replication project.
During the past years, IBiSA has also funded the EMME (Experimental Metadata Management Environment) project hosted on GenOuest.
RĂ©gion Bretagne is a regular funder since the creation of GenOuest in 2001. It is evident that without this constant help, GenOuest could have never reached its actual level.
GenOuest is a member of IFB (Institut Français de Bioinformatique).
Europe has funded several projects for GenOuest. Some equipment for the IRSET infrastructure has been installed thanks to Europe funding in 2015. The CeSGO project was also funded by Europe.
