White Paper: The Importance of Microarrays in Agrigenomics

As global populations grow and environmental challenges evolve, agrigenomics—the application of genomics in agriculture—plays an increasingly important role in addressing issues of food security and climate change.

Microarray technology, a high-throughput technique that enables the simultaneous analysis of thousands of genes, has become a powerful tool to help researchers across academia and industry better understand genetic variations and regulatory mechanisms in plants and animals. Thermo Fisher Scientific’s customizable agrigenomics microarray technology provides precise, scalable solutions for scientists, farmers, and breeders who work with a wide range of species from plants to bovines and livestock to marine animals.

Discover how Thermo Fisher’s microarray technologies are advancing agricultural research, informing innovative breeding programs, and solving some of the world’s greatest challenges with science.
