The unit maintains numerous partnerships with both the academic community and the private sector

In France, UMR GABI collaborates with other units in the Animal Genetics department but also maintains close ties with units in other departments, particularly PhASE (Animal Physiology and Livestock Systems), SA (Animal Health), and MathNum (Mathematics and Digital Sciences). It is also developing collaborations with various institutes, including the CNRS, the Pasteur Institute, INSERM, Ifremer, and CIRAD, as well as with AgroParisTech, ENVA, and various universities.

Internationally, UMR GABI collaborates with colleagues from numerous countries on every continent. The unit is involved in major international consortia such as FAANG (Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes), the 1,000 Bovine Genomes Project, and the 1,000 Poultry Genomes Project.

The unit maintains close partnerships with key players in the animal sectors, such as the Institut de l’Élevage (IDELE), the Eliance livestock cooperative, the French Institute for Horses and Equestrian Sports (IFCE), GenEval, the French Union of Poultry and Aquaculture Breeders (SYSAAF), the French Institute for Swine Research (IFIP), and ITSAP—the French Institute for Bee Research.

The UMR GABI also collaborates with private companies, primarily in the animal breeding sector.
