All relevant KennisOnline CGN projects have been brought together in a single overview on Research@WUR.
To preserve genetic diversity in the long term, make it more accessible, and increase the impact of the gene bank, growth of the CGN collections is essential. Therefore, Wageningen University & Research is investing in new gene bank facilities on Wageningen Campus, where all current and future collections of plant and animal genetic material will be brought together in one modern building.
