Research
Research and data that helps empower the world to achieve greater food security and biodiversity.
What we do
Through the work we have done at DArT over more than 21 years, we have gathered a significant amount of data of great use to researchers in many fields, from agriculture to pre-breeding, breeding, ecological and biodiversity studies, and pure academic research.
It is our desire to use this knowledge for the good of people everywhere, from helping achieve food security, health and wellbeing in the poorest parts of the world to protecting endangered ecosystems everywhere.
By exchanging information and expertise, we can make a lasting difference, save a species on the brink of extinction, or further knowledge for the good of humanity.
In addition to encouraging partnerships with similar organisations and individuals, the services we are able to offer for research purposes include:
- DNA extraction
- Diversity analysis
- Epigenetic studies
- Data collection in the field
- Ecologue
- KDSmart
- Data management and storage
- KDManage
- KDCompute
- KDExplore
- DNA analysis (SNP/variant detection, methylation analysis)
- Identifying associations between DNA markers and important traits (GWAS)
Research papers
From time to time DArT produces or collaborates on various scientific papers and publications.
