About Us
Warwick Plant Genomic Libraries Limited is a recent spin-out company based at Warwick HRI, a new Department of the University of Warwick. At Warwick Plant Genomic Libraries we are dedicated to supplying high quality plant genomic libraries to the international research community. These powerful resources will be of particular benefit to academic researchers, scientists working in agriculture and horticulture and also to pharmaceutical research teams interested in the medicinal properties of plants.
The Directors and founders of the Company, Ken Manning and Professor Graham Seymour have worked together in Plant Biotechnology for many years and have a clear understanding of the benefits of having the highest quality genomic resources. Their own research has led to the successful cloning of a gene for an important transcription factor regulating the ripening process in the tomato. A key step in the chromosome walk leading to the identification of this gene was the production of a cosmid library with the widest possible genomic coverage. The expertise and technical know-how gained in this work now forms the foundation of a growing range of products made with a state-of-the-art fosmid vector ensuring they are as representative as possible. Through their own experience the researchers at Warwick Plant Genomic Libraries know how important high quality and representative libraries are to their customers.
