b'Pantograph by Computomics GmbHPangenome datasets havent been interactively visualized, until now. Computomics Pantograph technology is the first visual browser showing every kind of variation in a region, allowing the pinpointing of genetic changes associated with a trait. Users intuitively inspect large-scale variation between complete genomes up to whole chromosome views, or dive deep to single nucleotide level variation. Pantograph shows meta data such as phenotype information alongside the genomes, allowing the sorting of genomes by meta data or by genetic variants. The technology allows breeders to interactively explore the genetic impact on traits without requiring computational skills, transforming the way crop genomes can be investigated and understood. Working with pangenomes allows the seed industry to capture the full genetic diversity of crops, says Computomics CEO and managing director Sebastian J. Schultheiss. Seeing this diversity visualized paves the way for ground-breaking discoveries like finding causal genes for hard-to-detect traits that are important for disease resistances or yield gain.By integrating public and proprietary data into one dashboard, pangenomes can be explored similarly to Google Maps. This visual exploration delivers better markers and better gene editing targets than any other technology.Mark 3 by ArableArables Mark 3 crop intelligence system is an IoT-based sens-ing and monitoring device that combines weather, plant, and soil sensing with irrigation monitoring, contextualized crop images, and data communications in a single compact and portable device. The Mark 3 features state-of-the-art environmental and plant sensors including a research-grade thermal sensor that reads canopy temperature within one degree Celsius and a 22 narrow-band spectrometer that facilitates advanced plant analysis. These sensors enable the detection of plant stress before it becomes visible to the human eye. Additionally, the Mark 3 includes an optional ultrasonic anemometer for precise tracking of wind speed and direction without any moving parts.The Mark 3\'s uniqueness for the seed industry lies in its precision, comprehensive data capabilities, and ability to integrate. It gives plant breeders the ability to match seed traits precisely with the environmental conditions they will thrive in. For seed producers, it closes the loop between breeding and cultivation.This breakthrough signifies the onset of a new era in digital agriculture, where data-centric insights not only boost efficiency and productivity but also foster better management and conservation of agricultural resources," says Jim Ethington, Arables CEO.34/ SEEDWORLD.COMFEBRUARY 2024'
