Technology has vastly increased the choices when it comes to molecular breeding for crop traits. But how do you narrow-down the options to the best choices? Syngenta recently announced a deal with NRGene, a genomics-to-breeding solution provider, using the GenoMAGIC data analytics platform. The platform enables high-performance molecular breeding. The companies have reached a multi-year collaboration agreement, after Syngenta completed  a one-year trial on GenoMAGIC. In testing, the company found it enabled the identification and comparison of genetic makeup of large populations of subjects to select only the best candidates for breeding.
