Genetic changes have the ability to alter crop characteristics, and some crop breeding techniques take advantage of this.

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days -- in a single test and at a much lower cost.
