Verinomics has unveiled two breakthrough platforms designed to accelerate specialty crop innovation: Genesis™, a transgene-free gene editing platform, primarily for vegetatively propagated crops and Genova™, a genomic-driven breeding acceleration platform for both seed and vegetatively propagated crops. Together, these technologies streamline trait discovery and product development.
With $13 million raised, Verinomics has built a genomics-driven breeding and transgene-free editing pipeline, forged several key partnerships, and developed proprietary tools to accelerate product development. Verinomics follows a partner-first model, working with nurseries, seed companies, and growers to co-develop high-value products with shared intellectual property.
"We founded Verinomics with a vision to harness genomic technologies to solve urgent challenges in agriculture," said Dr. Stephen Dellaporta, Verinomics' President, Founder, and Professor at Yale University. "Our precision breeding platform combines chromosome-level genome assemblies, population genomics, AI-based trait identification, and transgene-free gene editing, allowing us to rapidly identify the genetic architecture of valuable traits and develop enhanced, edited varieties without introducing foreign DNA."
"Agriculture faces unprecedented challenges from disease pressure and resource constraints," said Gio Scalzo, Chief Operating Officer at Verinomics. "By combining AI-powered genomic analysis with our transgene-free editing capabilities, we're enabling the rapid development of improved crop varieties that would take decades through conventional breeding methods."
