INTEGRATED CONSULTING

Tailor-made solutions: Personalised Research

Research and development for new plant varieties is of utmost importance for the development of the agricultural sector, based on the technical innovation on which all of the food supply chain depends.

Sistemas Genómicos is participating in this plant revolution by offering over 20 years of experience in plant genetics for those working in artificial selection.

Using various molecular techniques (PCR, microarray, conventional sequencing), massive sequencing techniques (genome and transcriptome sequencing, targeted resequencing, miRNAs, metatranscriptomics, epigenetics) and bioinformatics, we suggest personalised projects that act as an effective solution for the needs of the sector:

Consulting in the Plant Sector

• Genetic artificial selection

  The identification of molecular markers associated with features of interest for agriculture makes it easier to select specimen with the genotype of interest early on and, as a result, allows us to hugely reduce the costs involved in maintaining the seedlings.

• Identification of Varieties

  Genetic classification of the varieties allows for the protection of the breeder’s rights, helping to settle conflicts related to intellectual property (denomination of origin, etc.). Genetic diversity studies.

• Genetic diversity studies

  The classification of the variability on a molecular level in plants is critical for coming up with the right strategies for conserving diversity, for example the establishment of germplasm banks.

• Soil Analysis

  Through Metagenome examination, we can know the structure of microscopic communities existing in the same place at the same time

Consulting in the Livestock Sector

• Genetic Selective Breeding

  The molecular classification of animal species and the identification of features of interest improves the sustainability of livestock production, making it more effective and increasing profitability.
