FNAM

Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. is a genomics research and development company. The Company is focused on the identification and validation of genes that impact commercially valuable traits in crops for the agriculture industry. It has performed research on crops including rice, corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, cowpeas, beans, tomatoes, and cassava. Its core technology is its patented Adapted Traits Platform (ATP), which is used to perform molecular evolution analysis to identify positively selected genes that may have an impact on traits of interest. Positively selected candidate genes must be further tested to validate their impact on the desired traits. The Company has applied its ATP in research projects, including identifying genes responsible for increases in yield in corn, increases in yield in rice, drought tolerance and sugar content in tomatoes and pest/disease resistance in soybeans, cassava, beans, tomatoes and cotton.
