What is the Genetic Innovation toolbox?

The Genetic Innovation (GI) Toolbox features user-validated tools, services, best practices, and learning materials developed or curated by the CGIAR Genetic Innovation Science Group for the improvement of breeding programs. It provides details for using our low- and mid-density genotyping services, as well as tools, guides, best practices and training to create a culture of continuous improvement in breeding programs, enabling effective mechanization, automation and adoption of precision and high-throughput phenotyping tools.

Genotyping / sequencing tools and services

Genotyping and sequencing services, combined with support and training, to accelerate the rate at which new varieties can be developed. These include details for using low- and mid-density genotyping services.

Operations and phenotyping

Tools, guides, best practices and training to create a culture of continuous improvement in breeding programs, enabling effective mechanization, automation and adoption of precision and high-throughput phenotyping tools.

Breeding informatics

Integrated data and bioinformatics tools to manage and convert data created via advanced phenotypic and genotypic technologies.
