Heritable Agriculture
Born at Google X, Heritable Agriculture is an independent entity leveraging AI and gene editing to expand opportunities in agriculture. They offer a platform for phenotype prediction, causal gene identification, and genome edit design. Their technology utilizes multi-omic data and DNA-language models to pinpoint genetic targets for desired regulatory changes and predict performance in new environments and genotypes. By integrating sequence, weather, soil, and climate data, they match crop varieties to locations, reducing time-to-market and the need for field trials.
