CD Genomics is a leading service provider for agricultural genomics research, providing crop whole-genome sequencing services with ultra-fast turnaround times, high-quality sequencing data, and reliable results. Our crop whole-genome sequencing has been used in a variety of applications, including population genetics studies, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and agricultural breeding programs.
Importance of crop genome sequencing
The genome sequence of any organism is key to understanding that organism's biology and utility. Plants have diverse, complex, and sometimes very large nuclear genomes, mitochondrial genomes, and smaller and more highly conserved chloroplast genomes, even among closely related plant groups. Plant genome sequences advance our understanding of plant biology and serve as a critical platform for genetic selection and improvement of crops to achieve food security. Plant genome sequencing requires technologies that can capture large amounts of sequence data at low cost and with high accuracy. Plant genomic data can support food and nutrition security by supporting the conservation of biodiversity, adaptation to climate change, and improved agricultural sustainability.

Our customizable service
Based on our advanced next-generation sequencing and long-read sequencing technology platforms, CD Genomics can sequence the genomes of a large number of crop species, and provide data to support plant genetics research and breeding efforts. Our crop genome sequencing enables the assessment of intraspecific polymorphisms, the identification of key genes influencing the formation of dominant traits, and the development of molecular markers for economically valuable traits.
We are currently able to sequence the whole genomes of the following crop species. Our experts are also developing other crop genome sequencing projects.
