Project

The ‘Amphiencode’ project gathers several labs around the goal to build an extensive functional genomics ressource for the European amphioxus Branchiostoma lanceolatum.
The first step of this project has been to establish a high quality assembly and annotation for this species (see data) with the participation of the Genoscope and the support of France Génomique. The second step consists in applying state-of-the-art regulatory profiling techniques to several tissues and emnbryonic stages in this species. Datasets have now been generated with techniques such as ATAC-seq, Chip-seq and chromatin conformation capture (3C).
