Genome opening
Plan reference-genome and resequencing work, explore genetic variation and turn sequence resources into a usable basis for selection.
BREEDING SERVICES
Build better
programmes.
Establish a new breeding programme. Transform a conventional one. Or solve the technical bottleneck holding it back.
YOUR STARTING POINTTHREE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
From the first cross
to the next capability.
The starting point is your crop, your market and your breeding decisions. The technology follows the need.
Designed for seed companies,
breeding teams and crop innovators.
THE ENGAGEMENTDiscuss this programme
From a market need to your first crossing plan.
Define the crop, the customer and the variety you need. Build a practical programme around those targets, with the germplasm, selection methods and infrastructure to carry it through.
A breeding blueprint
Target product profile, trait priorities and germplasm strategy.
A working programme
Crossing design, population structure and stage-by-stage selection gates.
A delivery plan
Facilities, people, data workflows and an implementation roadmap.
THE ENGAGEMENTDiscuss this programme
Keep the fieldcraft. Change what is possible.
Turn a conventional breeding programme into a connected, speed-breeding and genomics-driven operation. Start with the bottleneck, preserve valuable germplasm and make each new capability serve a breeding decision.
An honest diagnosis
Review the breeding cycle, trait assays, data quality and decision points.
A connected system
Link markers, controlled generations, phenotyping and pedigree data.
A team that can use it
Pilot workflows, practical protocols, training and a phased rollout.
THE ENGAGEMENTDiscuss this programme
The right intervention. Where it matters.
A trait that will not move. An assay that will not separate. A genome that has not yet become a useful marker. Bring a specific breeding problem and build a focused route to a decision.
A testable question
Define the trait, the material and the evidence needed to make progress.
A targeted workflow
Genome analysis, marker design, phenotyping or accelerated introgression.
A clear handover
Interpretable results, documented methods and the next breeding decision.
PROGRAMME TRANSFORMATIONCONNECTED, NOT BOLTED ON
Keep the knowledge.
Upgrade the system.
A conventional programme often contains years of valuable germplasm and fieldcraft. The objective is to make that knowledge more productive, not to discard it.
THE CONSTRAINTTHE DESIGN RESPONSE
Advancement tied to one annual seasonCrop-specific controlled generations, with field testing retained.
Useful traits difficult to follow through crossesValidated markers and targeted phenotyping in relevant backgrounds.
Pedigrees, samples and plot results disconnectedTraceable identifiers and a linked data workflow.
More data, but no clearer selection decisionExplicit selection gates and interpretable outputs.
New technology depends on one specialistDocumented protocols, training and a practical handover.
The appropriate workflow depends on crop biology, germplasm, facilities and the target market. No universal generation rate or genetic-gain multiplier is assumed.
TECHNICAL DELIVERYTOOLS WITH A BREEDING PURPOSE
From sequence
to selection.
Focused technical work can stand alone, or become part of a wider programme transformation.
Marker design & KASP
Move from a candidate variant to an assay workflow, with validation in relevant breeding backgrounds and clear genotype interpretation.
Trait strategy & phenotyping
Define the challenge, the controls and the scoring. Design assays that help separate useful genetic variation from environmental noise.
Speed introgression
Combine crossing, marker-assisted tracking and crop-specific generation management to move useful traits towards elite material.
Breeding data & workflows
Link plants, samples, pedigrees and plots. Set up practical identifiers, analysis workflows and information a breeder can use.
Implementation & training
Translate the plan into working protocols and staff routines. Pilot before scaling, then hand over a documented process.
THE ENGAGEMENTHOW WE GET TO WORK
Understand. Design.
Implement. Transfer.
A clear scope before a complex workflow. Deliverables matched to the problem, not a standard package.
Define the target
Crop, product, material, constraints and the decision that needs to improve.
Design the route
A scoped work plan with deliverables, responsibilities and decision points.
Build and test
Pilot the workflow on relevant material. Check performance before wider adoption.
Put it to work
Document the process and hand over the methods, outputs and next steps.
