Genetics and genomics

DNA

• DNA genotyping - Sequenom
• DNA sequencing - Sanger, Illumina
• Whole genome shotgun and assembly
• DNA extraction
• Molecular marker development
• Plant fingerprinting, distinctness, uniformity, stability
• Bioinformatics, including whole genome, population and comparative analyses

Pre-breeding R&D

• Genetic diversity of natural and cultivated organisms
• Mutant screening, pathway engineering to increase active components
• Genetic analysis of agronomic and end-use traits
