The rapid development of –omics technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics means that big data is at the heart of new discoveries in plant genetics and plant pathology.  Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that involves the development and application of computational methods for the analysis of large-scale biological data ranging including the development of database systems, visualization tools and the downstream analysis of experimental data.

Our expertise in all aspects of crop science – including breeding, diagnostics, soils, pathogens, genetics and phytochemistry, lends itself to the burgeoning European cannabis and hemp agricultural sector. Our experience of compound  and contaminant analyses, including oils, makes us the perfect choice for the analysis of cannabidiol, cannabinoids and CBD products.
