Cannabis Genetic Assay The StrainSEEK® Strain Identification and Registration Service provides more high-quality genomic data than any other cannabis genetic sequencing service on the market. More data means you can better protect your strain from patents, better determine if your strain is unique, better identify genetic markers for breeding, and much more. Whole genome sequencing also available.
Protect Your Strain from Patents
Demonstrating prior art is key to protecting your strain from cannabis utility patents, which are already being filed. Medicinal Genomics submits an encrypted version of your StrainSEEK data file to the DASH blockchain, which serves as public, timestamped record of prior art that can be used to defend against any future patents.
Determine if Your Strain is Unique
Your StrainSEEK report will show your strain’s closest genetic relatives from our database, and provide a genetic distance value. We have also designed the panel to include loci from the other public cannabis genomic datasets (Phylos, Lynch, Sawler), giving you the ability to compare your sequence data to any public cannabis genetics.
Identify Genetic Markers
The StrainSEEK 3 megabase panel covers 29 cannabinoid and terpene synthase genes, which can help breeders and cultivators identify genetic markers for desirable traits. To get a full view of your strain’s genetic, use our whole genome sequencing service. In either case, you can download the raw genetic data files for further analysis.
Share Genetic Information with Your Customers
Each strain that is sequenced with the StrainSEEK service will have its own webpage on Kannapedia.net, which includes a picture of the strain, potency information, and the strain’s relationship to other strains in the database. The strain is also added to our Phylotree for a visual representation of genetic heritage. We also provide a QR code that links to your strain’s Kannapedia page that you can place on packaging as a way for consumers to access additional information about your strain.
