Genoscope is one of the six groups participating in the AGI (Arabidopsis Genome Initiative), whose goal is to complete the sequence of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome by the end of 2000.

Genoscope is involved in the Arabidopsis sequencing by :

1. Coordinating a European Union project to sequence the whole chromosome 3 bottom arm.
2. Sequencing 1 Mbase of the chromosome 3 bottom arm as part of the above EU project.

• Synoptic view of sequenced BAC at Genoscope.
• Synoptic view of all sequenced BAC in the European project coordinated by Genoscope
• Graphical display of the chromosome 3 bottom arm.
• BLAST search against chromosome 3 bottom arm BAC sequences.
• Members of the Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 3 European sequencing initiative can access the updating form.
