French Network of Biological Resource Centres for Research in Biology, Agronomy and Environment

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.

Optimizing the use of cryopreserved genetic resources for animal populations in breeding and conservation

How can cryopreserved animal genetic resources be used? Simulation work has shown that the use of cryopreserved genetic resources can not only slow down the loss of genetic diversity in populations, but also support changes in breeding objectives. The use of these resources varies according to the objective of the population manager. This study provides practical recommendations for different management scenarios.

Keeping livestock cool, so as not to lose any of the living elements

Know more

The GIS IBISA has just published “Garder l'élevage au frais, pour ne perdre rien du vivant” (“Keeping livestock farming cool, so as not to lose any of the living”), reminding us that CRB-Anim, the animal pillar of the RARe infrastructure, brings together biobanks that keep the genetic and genomic resources of a multitude of animal species raised in France in cold storage. National biodiversity under high protection to respond to crises and safeguard the future.
