Syngenta and NRGene announced a key milestone in their multi-year collaboration. The deal centers around NRGene’s cloud-based big data analytics platform, GenoMAGICTM, which enables high performance molecular breeding. Syngenta has successfully completed a one-year trial of GenoMAGIC, evaluating its ability to identify and compare the full genetic makeup of large populations and select the best candidates for efficient breeding. In addition, Syngenta has chosen to decode the full genomic makeup of dozens of its elite varieties in key commercial crops, using NRGene’s DeNovoMAGICTM-3 software. The resulting data will be used to expand the application of genomics in breeding, gene editing, and other genetic research projects. GenoMAGIC is routinely used by seed companies like Syngenta to support increasing global demand for food with higher nutritional value. Vast genomic data is now being generated for all major consumer crops. GenoMAGIC integrates this data and provides immediate access and insights for breeding better performing varieties.
