2 new research projects with BC-based biotech company @bugseq to advance genomic tools that improve antimicrobial resistance prediction and respiratory pathogen detection. Faster answers. Better treatment decisions. Stronger public health systems. genomebc.ca/?p=36516

🐈 Why are most orange cats male? The answer is in their DNA. In the final Gene Short of the season, we explore the science behind orange cats and the surprising discovery that solved this long-standing genetic mystery. 🎧link.cohostpodcasting.com/b87cc2cc-6ed3-…

Why start from scratch every season? In agriculture research, collecting field and farm data can take months before you can even compare results. But what if the data you need is already out there? Explore the Agriculture Metadata Commons and submit your metadata: metadatacommons.ca/ag

🌾🔎 Faster discovery. Stronger collaboration. Greater impact. The Agriculture Metadata Commons helps researchers find datasets, connect with collaborators and avoid duplication. Built with Genome Alberta and RDAR. 👉 metadatacommons.ca/ag #AgricultureMetadataCommons #OpenScience #DataSharing
