After assembling a complete genome from a new breed of cannabis, University of Minnesota and Sunrise Genetics researchers found that high-CBD “hemp” plants have a mostly marijuana genome.

Congrats on getting this paper on the best Cannabis genome to press! A new Cannabis genome assembly associates elevated cannabidiol (CBD) with hemp introgressed into marijuana. https://t.co/Z0PMbXaUDG

Minnesota researchers develop genetics test that predicts cannabis plants' CBD and THC production https://t.co/TDiSZkxPbV

@Botanicalhealer @Botanical_ @wileyplantsci @BellMuseum @umncbs Yes, that's exactly right. The test described in the paper and other similar tests can accurately predict if a seedling or clone will be THC-type, CBD-type, or intermediate. Stay tuned for tests that will also be able to predict potency.

[Jonathan Wenger @JPWenger]

@Kansans4Hemp @Greenthumb_one Just what that likelihood actually is relates to whether fiber hemp grown in the US up through mid-1900s already harbored a low frequency of THC-type genes or not. Data from multiple individual plants are needed to get at the answer.

[Jonathan Wenger @JPWenger]

@Kansans4Hemp Thanks for posting these links! Interesting to see the mean THC:CBD ratio of ~10:1 for mean values the Eaton paper across all samples consistent with CBD-type. Would be interesting to know if there were THC-type or intermediate individual plants in the samples.

@Botanicalhealer @Botanical_ @wileyplantsci @BellMuseum @umncbs Hey River - One outcome would be simple genetic tests of seed, seedlings, or clones for purity with respect to THC-type vs. CBD-type. Useful for breeders, suppliers, producers, and regulators before or early in growth cycle.

Day 1: Lovely if a bit oddly quiet Monday morning commute to start the month of joy: https://t.co/THFjXnAaJj #30daysofbiking

@TomCrann “nuisance snowfall”? “Nuisance” to whom?

[Jonathan Wenger @JPWenger]

@MPRnews Please quit using the execrable word “mild” when reporting unseasonably warm weather and forecasts. Some Minnesotans want a real winter. #iwanttoski #snowisgood

[Jonathan Wenger @JPWenger]

@Valoya We are indeed very happy with greatly improved growth conditions for our work in #Cannabis genetics at the University of Minnesota - where plants reported on in the study were grown under Valoya LED lights.

Nice shout out about some Cs mapping population work...

[UC Davis Genome Center @genomecenter]

Cannabis varies in two popular and important metabolites, THC and CBD. Short-read assemblies have not clarified if the two synthases responsible occupy one locus or a linked cluster. PacBio sequencing of a Skunk #1 x hemp F1 indicates the latter: https://t.co/ebXzTOMg2P

Sad that winter is gone, but it's nice to commute on skinny tires and no studs! #30daysofbiking https://t.co/bvmSQTjPZi

Day 3: Joyful and grateful that bike commute routine is a natural part of #30daysofbiking this year! https://t.co/MLPFrNXMce

Just too lovely not to grab some evening road cycling bliss. Nice start to #30daysofbiking ! https://t.co/VvRP6ByBT4

A new old ride to add to the joy kit just in time for #30DaysOfBiking

[Jonathan Wenger @JPWenger]

When your kid has a futsal match you want to see, how do you get there? You ride, of course! #30daysofbiking https://t.co/XhVk8sOLVF
