Welcome to the VAST lab !

        Our primary interest is in the genetics of growth
              and genotype x environment interaction.

Please also visit our Arabidopsis natural variation resource portal, the website 
Versailles new RILs sets (including description and associated data)
Seed ordering takes place from Publiclines website

                Job offers:

    We are always looking for post-docs and students motivated by the fields of natural diversity,
    quantitative genetics and molecular biology in Arabidopsis. There is no need to be a stats specialist
    to become part of this exciting and fast-moving field of biology !
