RhoBio, the joint venture, will use Lion's SRS system to integrate disease-related genetic data.

 

Biogemma will use Lion's BioScout application to analyze plant gene sequences.

 

These are the bioinformatics company's first French crop science clients.

 

RhoBio, a joint venture begun in April 1998, focuses on Arabidopsis genomics and its applications to crops like maize, wheat, rice and oilseed rape.
