Success stories

""
A key to the successful outcomes of the Genomics R&D Initiative has been to ensure Canadian researchers have the tools they need to explore the almost infinite potential of genomics to enhance the health, safety and economic well-being of Canadians.
With funding from the Genomics R&D Initiative, researchers at six federal departments have extracted DNA from thousands of specimens of a wide range of organisms collected over many decades. This capacity is essential to take advantage of the speed and accuracy of genomics-based testing to identify pests and pathogens that can endanger our health, safety and economy.
