With the unravelling of human, plant and microbial genomes, biology is becoming ‘big science’. High-tech and high throughput solutions are needed to understand how genes influence the growth and yield of crop plants. Key technologies are those of proteomics, DNA microarray and genetics.

As the genome programmes aims to identify all genes within an organisms, so proteomics strives to identify all the proteins coded by those genes. DNA microarray is a powerful technology that allows us to visualize the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously in a tissue. Genetics allows us to identify the function of genes. Together, these scientific approaches will allow Creative Gene Technology Ltd. to achieve its objectives in improving the yields of major crops.
