RenSeq is a cutting-edge genome reduction technology.
RenSeq, which stands for Resistance gene enrichment Sequencing, enables researchers and breeders to unravel the complex family of nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich-repeat genes (NLRs). These genes hold the key to controlling a wide range of potato pathogens, from late blight to viruses and nematodes amongst others.
RenSeq Technology enables us to:
RenSeq technology is an integral part of our research and commercial breeding activities, collaborating closely with James Hutton Limited and international partners.
