Earlier Detection

Healthier Crops

Better Yields

Disease detection and plant microbiome monitoring

Helping Growers Harness The Power Of DNA Sequencing

Using long read DNA sequencing we help growers understand what is happening in their systems at the microscopic level. DNA sequencing gives you the complete picture of every bacteria, fungi, and oomycete in your sample. Identify unknown diseases. Track changes over time. See how your disinfection protocols are working. Check to see if your beneficial microbes are doing their jobs and persisting in your system. All with a single test.

Early Detection: See problems emerging before symptoms are visible

Relative Abundance: Understand what portion of the community each microbe makes up

Understand The Importance: Compare results to a healthy baseline

Our Workflow

  1. Growers collect samples and place them inside a collection tube

  2. Samples are either picked up by our team (Leamington / Kingsville) or shipped by the grower to our lab

  3. DNA is extracted from the sample, the 16S and ITS genes are amplified, and the amplified DNA is purified

  4. The sample is sequenced using long read DNA sequencing

  5. The sequencing data is processed, the species within each sample are identified, and a report is generated
