Genetic code and binary code join forces to enhance scientific research. The former relies on precise combinations of purine and pyrimidine bases, while the latter consists of sequences of zeros and ones. These two different ways of storing information may soon interact, accelerating advancements in genetic research.
An agreement to this effect has been signed between Microsoft and Crea (the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics) to apply artificial intelligence solutions developed in Redmond, USA, to the “Pangenome” project.
This collaboration will significantly boost the efficiency of decoding agricultural crop genomes, unlocking secrets to better combat the challenges posed by climate change. In addition to wheat, the initial focus of the agreement, the research aims to develop new varieties of essential global crops such as rice and maize.
