“We are thrilled that the whole genomic sequencing of cats has led to such impactful discoveries which we believe can provide an efficient and effective model for research into eye diseases affecting humans. Using whole genome sequencing enabled us to find this mutation, which would not have been possible using traditional microarray technology.”

Tomatoes, our first Community of Discovery
“I’m very excited to work with Maverix to help create a new tomato community-focused analytic portal as the first example of a ‘Community of Discovery. Having a destination site where anyone in the Solanum community can analyze, visualize, and openly share new sequencing data should enable new opportunities for collaboration in the field.”
