NetaGenomiX
Revolutionizing Plant Genetics
About NetaGenomiX
NetaGenomiX stands at the forefront of plant genetics, dedicated to developing sustainable and nutritious crops that are robust and resilient to climate change. Harnessing our revolutionary gene-editing technology, we fulfill the full potential of the complex plant genome by designing and creating crops that can withstand the challenges of climate change. By doing so, NetaGenomiX provides solutions to the mission of enhancing future global food safety and security.
The Problem
In the realm of gene-editing of crop plants, a critical challenge lies in unveiling the multitude of agricultural traits concealed within gene families. These hidden characteristics hold the key to crop resilience and nutritional values, yet they remain elusive due to complex genetic shielding.
NetaGenomix vision
NetaGenomiX aims to develop, grow and supply superior annual and perennial, high-yielding, sustainable crop varieties, better adapted to climate change, with improved nutritional and health properties.
The Solution
Revolutionizing Crop Development with Precision and Scale
