Cannabis Genetics Institute

Cannabis Genetics Institute is a cannabis genetics, breeding, and education company focused on applying genomics and molecular breeding tools to cannabis. The organization states that it works to preserve and reinvigorate the cannabis gene pool by archiving heirloom and landrace genetics, reintroducing male and female breeding lines, and offering certified cannabinoid- and terpene-specific seed profiles. CGI also positions itself as an open, collaborative research initiative and has described work with technical partners to map the cannabis genome and identify gene sets associated with desirable plant traits. In addition to seeds and genetics, the company provides educational content and consulting related to cultivation, breeding, and cannabis science. Its business appears to be centered on commercial cannabis genetics rather than development of regulated human therapeutics.
