when can we expect, or is it already in practice the ability to submit plant material and get a breakdown of what strain it is comprised of?

plant dna tracing
- Thread starter billy_big_bud!
- Start date
i don't know, but the news tonight says that Hunter S. Thompsons widow had his weed stash DNA profiled & is gonna market Hunter S. Thompson cannabis soon... i can see firing up a hogleg of Gonzo Dope myself...
Rob Clark and Skunkman Sam are doing a dna database...
thanks ester. can you provide any info? hippy- i read that too. i was surprised you can take dead , aged plant material and regenerate it. way cool. it also made me wonder if those strains are associated with a former member here whose strains were hunter s thompson themed???
phyolos bioscience just released a product taht tests dna of a plant, like 280 $ iirc per test, also they sell for 50 a seedling test kit to tell sex of seedlings , 50$ gets u 4 x tests i think.
just fyi

As far as I understand, they can test the DNA but they can't regenerate it - this is an important distinction.
that was my belief too but the article alluded to them regenerating it which is what surprised me.
ha. i knew someone brilliant would set the record straight. much thanks chimera. could you shed any light on the topic of the thread as again i would like to hear from someone knowledgeable on the topic. any light you could shed would be most appreciated. in a nutshell i wont be content until i know what pink kush is.
Yes there are a few companies doing this work now, Phylos and Medicinal Genomics are the top 2.
I have a couple of Pinks and will be sending that DNA for comparison, the data base is always growing, but we can't tell what varieties the clone is comprised of, we can simply see what the clone is related to.
Go to the Phylos Bioscience website and play with the Galaxy a little, you'll get an idea of how it works. Mostly comprised of US dispensary samples, but I am sending these companies DNA from dozens of Canadian vars to include in their analysis.

glad to hear the phylos galaxy is getting filled in
i still have a hard time navigating the thing and really geting a full view of it to get an understanding
is it made to be used on a tablet/smartphone? im on a laptop.... seems awkward and might be easier w touchscreen?
