Genomics - Powering the future of food and
animal health
What we do
Synomics brings the power of genomics to the underserved markets of food production and animal health. Using novel technology, we are empowering businesses of any size to create truly differentiated, sustainable food products and providing the insights to improve the health and well-being of millions of livestock and pets across the globe.
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
Genomic Prediction of Cassava Mosaic Disease
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is one of the most nutritionally important starchy root crops in the world, providing sustenance for around 800 million people globally. 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
