SGC-UNC Collaborates on $2.3 Million Project to Create Open Source Tech for Gene Discovery in Plants

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill hub of the international Structural Genomics Consortium will partner with the University of California, Davis to study the genes of rice plants responsible for root growth. The scientists will create an open source database and lay the groundwork for developing new varieties of drought resistant crops.
