About this update from Evio, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n EVIO \n Inc. (“EVIO” or the “Company”), (OTCQB: EVIO), a leading North \n American provider of cannabis testing and scientific research for the \n regulated cannabis industry, is excited to announce EVIO Biosciences \n launches the release of the first Genomics Testing program for Pathogen \n Identification in Cannabis. The EVIO \n Biosciences division launched in May led by EVIO’s Chief Science \n Officer, Dr. Anthony Smith.\n \n \n EVIO is proud to offer next generation DNA sequencing services for \n pathogen surveillance in cannabis grow operations. Next generation \n sequencing services (NGSS) genetically identifies nearly all the \n microbial constituents in a particular sample of plant tissue, soil or \n water. This service can help producers identify plant pathogens \n contributing to loss of yield or quality in your grow facility. NGSS can \n also be used to identify workplace human pathogens to keep your workers \n safe. Perhaps more important than pathogen ID, NGSS is a powerful tool \n for establishing an understanding of beneficial microbial biome \n constituents of your soil and cannabis plants. Knowing the constituents \n of the microbial communities in your grow operations can be the key to \n unlocking the effectiveness of your soil and nutrient strategies.\n \n \n Our NGSS application performs iterative sequence analysis of DNA that we \n isolate and prepare from environmental and plant tissue samples in your \n operation. The samples we collect contain hundreds or thousands of \n diverse microorganisms. NGSS is based on sequence-based identification \n of 16S ribosomal RNA genes. These genes encode an RNA molecule that are \n similarly conserved in nearly all living cells. In a NGSS run, sections \n of this gene and neighboring genetic regions are targeted to identify \n most present DNA sequences to the genus of species level. This \n information helps determine the presence and relative abundance of all \n microbial community constituents in the sample.\n \n \n Through cooperative sampling of roots, leaves, and stem tissues, we can \n help to identify which beneficial and plant pathogens are present, \n identify the source of pathogens, and how manage their populations. We \n help to sample your healthy or diseased plant tissues, take these backs \n to the lab, extract and ...
