Hi Fidelity Genetics is a computational breeding company. We use data science, advanced sensors, and large-scale DNA sequencing to build the best crop genomes in the world. We share a passion for solving hard problems like feeding the world and a mission to build genomes that can face what nature throws at them. Hi Fidelity Genetics is using large genomic, morphologic, and environmental datasets to change the breeding paradigm from a brute force numbers game to a predictive, precision data science.
Hi Fidelity Genetics was founded in 2014 by two Ph.D. plant geneticists, Philip Benfey and Spencer Maughan, who saw high seed costs with large margins as an opportunity to disrupt the industry by using advanced genomics and machine learning combined with a deep understanding of root biology.
