GenPhySE
Genetics Physiology and Breeding Systems

The GenPhySE unit was established in 2014 through the fusion of three units at the INRAE Toulouse-Auzeville site, engaged in research on animals. GenPhySE's scientific activities are focused on characterising and understanding the complex mechanisms underlying animals' ability to adapt to changing environments. Our objective is to develop innovations in genetics, nutrition and livestock management, ensuring the diversification and sustainability of future production systems.

GenPhySE unit is part of the INRAE Animal Genetics (GA) and Animal Physiology and Livestock Systems Divisions (PHASE). We are also affiliated to the Toulouse Veterinary School (ENVT) and the Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (INP)

The research is carried out at different scales of resolution, from DNA to the cell, tissue, animal, herd, and system. GenPhySE's scientific activity is organised into five research divisions comprising ten research teams.

In addition to its research divisions, GenPhySE also hosts five platforms or collective structures : Chromosomal control platform, Sigenae, IT & Automation, Experimental facilities and UMT Star.
