Traitomic is a biotechnology company specializing in accelerated, non-GMO trait development for plants and microbes. Using proprietary breeding technology, it helps agri-food partners rapidly identify traits to solve food production challenges.
Traitomic is a biotechnology company that provides accelerated trait development services for plants and microbes using traditional, non-GMO breeding techniques. Spun out from the Carlsberg Research Laboratory, the company utilizes proprietary technology platforms, including the LibraryCreator for building genetic libraries and the TraitTracker Procedure, which is based on the FIND-IT methodology for identifying specific genetic variants. By integrating large-scale population generation with high-efficiency selection systems, Traitomic enables the rapid identification and extraction of desired traits such as specific amino acid changes or gene expression modulations. This process allows for surgical precision in trait development across a diverse array of organisms, ranging from legumes, fruits, and cereals to various bacteria and fungi.
Collaborating with partners across the agri-food industry, start-ups, and academic institutions, Traitomic supports customers in accelerating their innovation pipelines to address global food challenges. The company offers tailor-made development plans and operates on a commercial model that seeks reimbursement upon project success. Their methods have been validated through the development of over 100 traits across more than 25 different crops. By providing non-GM solutions that facilitate faster time-to-market and regulatory acceptance, Traitomic helps producers create healthier, more diverse, and sustainable ingredients for both human and animal consumption. Their expertise spans molecular genetics and breeding, offering long-term partnership opportunities for organizations looking to optimize raw materials and biological solutions.
