Home-made sequencer sets a precedent for research on agricultural breeding

On November 23, the “Shenzhen Agricultural Genetic Technology Application Center” jointly established with Shenzhen Agricultural Science and Technology Promotion Center and Shenzhen Langcheng Industrial Co., Ltd. was formally established and held its first work conference. The conference identified the name of the center, management system and Constitution, short-term and medium-term tasks and future development direction of the center.

At present, the high-throughput molecular breeding technology platform jointly established by both parties has been formally launched. The high-throughput rapid screening of agricultural breeding in one of the bilateral application service projects has completed the sequencing of thousands of samples. The completion of this project will Screening provides a strong reference.

The combination of cutting-edge technology of high-throughput gene sequencing platform and breeding research is the first example in China. The application of this technology is expected to have a major breakthrough in the research of China's agriculture in molecular breeding. The director of the center stated that the current development of China's agriculture in molecular breeding requires advanced technologies such as high-throughput sequencing to conduct in-depth research, and will later cooperate in more industry fields to make brilliant achievements in the development of China's agriculture.
