Delivering results in under a week for each genome, DeNovoMagic has constructed very detailed and highly accurate assemblies that have led to the discovery of new genes. Previous attempts at mapping took months and years.
The platform is proven to allow quick and accurate reconstruction of reference genomes for even the most complex genomes like maize, wheat and other crops critical to the world’s food supply. As reference genomes are vital tools in the discovery of the optimal genetic makeup of crops, the platform’s speed and accuracy now allows reference genome reconstruction to be a common practice in crop research and seed industry research and development.
"Global food scarcity means that plant geneticists and breeders must produce better seeds much faster,” said Dr. Gil Ronen, NRGene's CEO. “Our genomic big data DeNovoMagic technology is already supporting them with the precise and relevant data required to boost their research toward gaining heartier yields.”
The company’s genomic big data technology can quickly and efficiently produce more than 20 complex reference genomes a month, meaning its big data analysis platform can triple the world’s plant reference genome collection within a single year.
Results will be presented at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference in January in San Diego at booth number 504 and two workshops. FG
