RE:Tweed Abd DNA Genetics Renew And ExpandPretty sure this is BS because you need to sequence the genomes of highly distinct cultivars to identify all single nucleotide polymorphisms. At best, they do transcriptome sequencing, assemble it, do differential gene expression analysis, then say 'good nuff'. And people buy it 'cuz science', without ever asking to see said data. Their website is shockingly lacking in any of the scientific details. Sure, they can phenotype with this data to a degree, that will not give you any useful breading information because cannabis is a complex plant non-model organism. Good luck getting anything beyond observing if cannabinoid biosynthetic genes being upregulated. The funny thing is that analysing the cannabinoid content gives you basically the same ‘breeding information’ at a fraction of the cost. Love the ‘cuz science’ mentality.

When a cannabis product is DNA Certified it means it's been grown using DNA genetics, phenotyped by the DNA team, and produced to DNA's discerning standards under the watchful eye of both DNA and Tweed in the best facilities in the world.
DNA's approach to selecting only the best has led to over 200 global cannabis awards, making them the most awarded cannabis breeders in the world and a global powerhouse for breeding and growing truly best-in-class strains. Tweed's e-commerce platform, tweedmainstreet.com, is the only place in Canada to carry DNA Certified products. These unique strains are the results of years of hard work and dedication to their craft.
