Modernizing Trait Discovery Infrastructure for a Global Crop Science Leader
The challenge A global crop science organization’s trait discovery program had outgrown the infrastructure supporting it. Years of organic growth had left the R&D organization running a patchwork of internal platforms, including an internal discovery portal, a BLAST Portal, a Knowledge Base, and specialized tools for marker analysis, phylogenetics, and toxicity screening. Each had been […]
Rebuilding the Research Network for Agricultural R&D
The challenge A global agricultural R&D division was hitting a wall that had nothing to do with the science itself and everything to do with the infrastructure underneath it. Researchers generating thousands of plant and microbial genomes, alongside a growing volume of phenotyping and trait data, found themselves unable to move that data at the […]
