The Centre for Integrative Genetics (CIGENE) was formally established in 2003 and is hosted by the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (www.umb.no) at campus Aas 30 km southeast of Oslo.
CIGENE aims to contribute to a deep causal understanding of complex genetic characters in fish, plants and animals for scientific and commercial exploitation based on an integrative genetics approach. As a core facility under the Norwegian Functional Genomics Programme (FUGE), CIGENE is also responsible for providing a national service for detection, typing and interpretation of SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), and for systems-oriented computational biology.
