Closing the gap in plant genomes

May 14, 2018

According to the latest estimates, approximately 400,000 plant species are currently known to science; however, 21% of them are at risk of extinction due to factors such as climate change, habitat loss, and disease. Combatting these challenges is a key focus of plant research efforts, particularly in the case of crop production where we are reliant on a small number of species. It has been reported that just 20 plant species occupy 90% of arable land, highlighting our vulnerability to the potential impacts of climate change and disease.

IoT To The Rescue For Biotech & Pharma Manufacturing

whitePaper | April 7, 2020

The Internet of Things (IoT) could not be timelier for biotech/pharma. With fierce cost pressures, the push for value-based outcomes, and the need for flexible manufacturing solutions, the IoT is the much-needed shot in the arm to bring about transformational change. Sensors, actuators, and devices (“things”) embedded in production equipment and networked through computer systems can generate an enormous amount of data. The data can be mined for insights and opportunities to drive production efficiency, automate monitoring and controlling functions, and enable flexible manufacturing systems.
