b'PARTNER CONTENTFrom One Breeder to Another: How Genomics Data Can Transform Your Breeding ProgramUNLOCK DATA-DRIVEN INSIGHTS FROM YOUR BREEDING PIPELINE TO EMPOWER YOU TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS FASTER.B efore the advent of genomics, breeders relied solely on field experimentation and their intu-ition to select parent plants. With genomics, breeders gain deep insights into the genetics of parent plants that enable a more efficient breeding process. In the era of big data, genetic information serves as a crucial resource empowering breeders to make informed, data-driven decisions. Data offers breeders and managers of breeding programs the potential to:Understand germplasm diversity at the molecu-lar level.
