This article talks about making agri-genomics accessible with low-pass whole genome sequencing.
Sponsored Content by MGIReviewed by Olivia FrostJul 23 2024 Genomics is an invaluable tool for discovering new genetic variants, selecting desirable traits, and enabling precise breeding in agriculture. Historically, the study of genomics has been limited by its high cost. However, with the recent advancements in low-pass whole genome sequencing , this field is now becoming more accessible to agricultural research.
Now, more cost-effective alternative techniques like low-pass whole genome sequencing are becoming more popular in agricultural studies. These techniques offer more accurate detection of genetic variation within the genomes of various species. MGI’s Low-pass WGS workflow facilitates the discovery of new genetic variants and strengthens the statistical power of agricultural genetic research while reducing the costs of experimental reagents. Prof Robert Henry feels it is a “great success to see this method being used in not only large projects but also many small projects, which couldn’t otherwise have afforded to use genomics.
Conclusion With a commitment to building core tools and technologies that drive innovation not only in agriculture but also in all life science disciplines, MGI Tech understands the importance of improving genomic techniques to make them more widely accessible. With the new workflow solution for low-pass WGS, genomics is more readily available to agricultural research, and this new method will help to pave the way for more precise livestock breeding and sustainable food production.
