In today's Tellus -- see how ARS scientists have bred new disease-resistant sugarbeet lines using cutting-edge genome mapping technologies! By adapting new genomic lines, plant breeders can greatly improve the sugarbeet’s tolerance to disease. ARS scientists expect discoveries like these through DNA analysis, will create more efficiencies in surgarbeets, and other crops. https://loom.ly/eXTPPO8

We are going to be seeing more and more headlines like this, and it is all part of a massive propaganda campaign. Do not be fooled. Gene editing and other genetic engineering technologies are NOT the answer. Several years ago, the highly respected science journal Nature Magazine published a news article reporting that conventional breeding substantially out-performs genetic engineering for several very important traits -- drought tolerance and the ability of crops to use nitrogen (e.g., from fertilizer or manure) more efficiently. The scientist Doug Gurian-Sherman dove into this topic in great detail and dispelled the notion that GE technologies are the answer to our future problems in his piece: Plant Breeding vs. GMOs: Conventional Methods Lead the Way in Responding to Climate Change.

💬 "Transformative technologies like the NovaSeq X Plus help us reduce the cost, increase speed, and up the scale of what we can do. This changes the questions we are able to ask - and the subsequent impact we can potentially make." - Dr Karim Gharbi, Head of Technical Genomics. Take a look at our latest article to discover how scientists at the Earlham Institute are using the latest technologies, such as the Illumina #NovaSeq, to look at the tilapia genome in a whole new way. #aquaculture #tilapia #genomics #climatechange #foodsecurity

As May is strawberry month in the US we'd like to highlight how the Kazusa DNA Research Institute used specific genomic approaches and high-throughput instrumentation to solve challenges with large-scale strawberry breeding. This study details how the cost saving benefits, gains in genotyping accuracy and automation of high-throughput technology provided real results. Read now: https://hubs.li/Q02x4jbw0
