Genomics - the power behind truly differentiated food products
What we do
Synomics brings the power of genomics to underserved markets, empowering them to create truly differentiated food products that are better quality, healthier and more sustainable. By helping them, we are supporting the next generation of consumer-driven, regenerative food production.
Why we do it
Modern low-cost, high-volume ag-food systems are destroying our soil, polluting our water courses, and emitting vast quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. They’re creating a health epidemic, and consumers have had enough.
They’re turning their backs on mass-market standardized commodity products; they want food that is responsibly and ethically produced, and with greater consideration for the environment.
Genomics is the key to answering their demands, but it has always been the preserve of large businesses and its power focused on major agricultural species.
We want to change this by bringing genomics into new underserved areas, such as smaller species, niche segments and novel production systems. Consumer demand is for differentiated food products, and we are ready to help businesses deliver what they want, sustainably, profitably and at scale.
Our impact


Making Cassava more resistant to Cassava Mosaic Disease
It’s the #3 source of carbohydrates globally and disease destroys 70% of every crop. We’ve discovered new insights that will help develop more resilient cassava plants. Read more


Rumen Microbiome Targets for Low Methane Emission
The microbiome in every rumen is different, but how can the differences in microbial abundance at various taxonomic levels affect methane emissions? We discovered new insights. Read more


Genomic improvement in laying hens
Learn how our analysis of a publicly available dataset of over 1,000 hens uncovered more than 2,000 highly-predictive SNPs and 3 significant GO-terms. Read more


Increased genetic gain in dairy cattle breeding
Our UK study of 4,000 dairy cattle identified multiple highly-predictive SNPs which mapped to genes which are potential targets for intervention. Read more
