Its flagship is xSeedScore, a climate-smart breeding platform, alongside CropCompass, the BreedScope analytics platform, the Pantograph trait-discovery tool, the MORPHEUS microbiome offering and MEGAN7 metagenomics software. Customers are commercial breeders in field crops, forages, vegetables and specialty crops; the company says three of the world's four largest agriculture companies are clients, and that it has delivered more than 190 projects across 18 countries. Processing runs on German-hosted infrastructure.
