Genoscope, the French National Sequencing Center, was created in 1997 and is one of the largest sequencing centers in Europe. Its mission is to acquire, to "sequence" and to analyze the genetic information of various organisms presenting a scientific, medical or economic interest. DNA sequencing is the process of determining the precise order of nucleotides within a DNA molecule. Genoscope produces various types of data, such as complete or partial genome sequences, that are then compared and analyzed. Following its role as a major actor in the Human Genome Project, Genoscope has changed its orientation toward environmental genomics. Since 2007, Genoscope is part of CEA, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission.

Créé en 1997, le Genoscope - Centre National de Séquençage - est un grand équipement au service de la communauté scientifique. Sa mission est d'acquérir, de "séquencer", et d'analyser l'information génétique de divers organismes d'intérêt scientifique, médical ou économique. Concrètement, le séquençage consiste à déterminer l'ordre dans lequel s'enchaînent les molécules élémentaires qui constituent les molécules d'ADN. Le Genoscope produit des données de nature diverse - séquences entières ou partielles de génomes ou de produits d'expression des gènes - qu'il compare et interprète. Après avoir été l'un des acteurs du projet génome humain, le Genoscope met aujourd'hui le cap vers la génomique environnementale. Depuis 2007, le Genoscope est intégré à l'institut de Génomique du CEA, le Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives.
