  • The ICGRC aims to provide an authoritative source of rigorous and peer-reviewed scientific information relating to Cannabis genetics, genomics and phenotyping. The scope of activities will encompass
    • Information and data sharing
    • establishing standards and reference information
    • facilitating the unambiguous description and characterisation of genetic resources
    • contributions to consistent annotation of gene identity and function
    • describing common genetic resources and where necessary, virtual gene-banks.
