Sustainable, productive agricultural processes are essential for tackling the challenges of tomorrow’s world. The ability to optimise beneficial agricultural traits depends on the precise control of genes in a crop plant’s enormous genome. Yet, identifying valuable gene control regions is like looking for needles in a haystack. The location of these regions is often not obvious and current detection technologies are impractically expensive and intensive. This project aims to develop a new technology that is expected to facilitate rapid and cost-effective discovery of all the control regions in a genome, enhancing our understanding of crop genomes and unlocking new avenues for agricultural improvement, food security and economic stability.

可持续、多产的农业进程对于应对未来世界的挑战至关重要。优化有益农业性状的能力取决于对农作物巨大基因组中基因的精确控制。然而，识别有价值的基因控制区就像大海捞针。这些地区的位置往往不明显，目前的检测技术过于昂贵和密集。该项目旨在开发一种新技术，该技术有望促进快速和具有成本效益地发现基因组中的所有控制区，加强我们对作物基因组的了解，并为农业改良、粮食安全和经济稳定开辟新的途径。
