A Centre of Excellence in Genomic
Science
Genomics is the field of science
that is empowering scientists in
transforming the world around us.
From innovations that effectively
enhance human health; to knowledge
that helps us better understand the
environment; to the possibilities of
creating new biological sources of
energy, genomic science is paving
the way for a better future.
Genomics has yet to be fully
unleashed in enhancing crop
productivity. In order to capture
this potential, ACGT is a centre of
excellence in genomic science
focusing on the application of
genome technology to crop
improvement. ACGT is in the business
of developing genomics-based
solutions to increase productivity
and enhance value creation from oil
palm and other crops.
Genomic Solutions
ACGT’s goal is to develop and
commercialise genomics-based
solutions that have the potential to
increase crop productivity and
value. This is accomplished through
R&D activities in genome sequencing
and biomarker discovery. Innovations
arising from these R&D activities
will create novel high yielding
planting materials. |
