Genomic Vision announced the first results of a research project carried out with the National Center for Plant Genomic Resources (CNRGV) of the National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA) with the goal of developing a new technique for plant genome analysis. From currently ongoing initial trials that focus on the genomes of the sunflower and yam, CNRGV and Genomic Vision have validated that combing technology can be adapted to analyze plant cells. Through the use of its proprietary molecular combing technology, Genomic Vision will enable researchers at CNRGV, a center of excellence in genomics at the INRA located near Toulouse, to identify resistance genes and analyze the viral pathologies of a large number of plant varieties. By combing plant DNA for the first time and designing a dedicated Genomic Morse Code (GMC), Dr. Hélène Bergès’ teams at the CNRGV can detect genetic modifications and viral insertions quantitatively and quantitatively, which paves the way for the specific characterization of genetic traits of interest in a variety of plants.
