Long Read Sequencing for Agrigenomics
Agrigenomics, the application of genomics to agriculture, has and will continue to drive sustainable productivity and provide solutions to the challenges posed by populations around the world. CD Genomics is committed to providing our global customers with long read sequencing solutions that enable you to discover and utilize agrigenomics insights from data of unparalleled quality and detail.
Introduction to Agrigenomics
Ensuring that agricultural production can meet the food needs of a world characterized by continued population growth and the increasing impact of climate change is an urgent challenge. Genomics has a role to play in maximizing the utility, diversity, and yield of resources and contributing to sustained food security in the future. Agrigenomics is a rich field of structural and functional genomics studies targeting plant genomes, including crops, and specific life activities of plant growth and development, which in turn elucidates the genetic control networks and mechanisms of plant life activities. In addition, agrigenomics involves the breeding and maintenance of conducted. Agrigenomics has been contributing to the advancement of crop development for decades. From reference genome sequencing to genotyping for genome-wide association studies to genome prediction, advances in technology and applications have led to breakthroughs in crop improvement. These innovations have produced superior varieties with agriculturally desirable traits, including high yields, stress tolerance, and insect resistance. However, the environments in which crops are grown are increasingly vulnerable to changes in conditions such as weather patterns or ecological instability. The development of long-read sequencing technologies can facilitate the adaptation of crops to this rapidly changing world.

Applications of Our Long Read Sequencing Solutions for Agrigenomics Research
Long Read Sequencing for Crop and Livestock Breeding
Our long read sequencing solutions enable the rapid assembly of stage-specific reference quality genomes to facilitate the estimation of complex traits. By utilizing the high accuracy and resolution of long read sequencing technology, researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the genomic variation behind desired traits and use this information to make informed breeding decisions and accelerate the development of high-quality crop and livestock breeds.
Long Read Sequencing for Plant and Animal Genetic Engineering
Our long read sequencing solutions help you obtain the detailed sequence information you need for the most complex gene editing programs, including creating high-quality reference genomes, finding splice variants within the transcriptome, validating edited sites, capturing on- and off-target effects, and identifying structural rearrangements on chromosomes. The superior accuracy and integrity of long read sequencing data enable researchers to make informed decisions during the design and implementation of genetic engineering programs. By harnessing the power of long-read sequencing, we aim to improve the efficiency and safety of plant and animal genetic modification.
Long Read Sequencing for Pest and Disease Research
Our long read sequencing solutions enable in-depth study of the genomes and transcriptomes of pests and pathogens with exceptional precision and specificity. Capturing genomic diversity in incredible detail helps you reveal key insights into traits such as immunity, metabolic detoxification, and pesticide resistance. Detailed genomic information obtained through long read sequencing helps identify novel genes and pathways to develop targeted strategies for pest and disease control.
