Learning Bioinformatics in Cannabis

With our current system, there are many confusions with the current division of recreational and medicinal Cannabis products being sold. Why should a non-psychoactive pain cream be sold and taxed as a recreational drug? Why do Cannabis-specific doctors only write medical Cannabis recommendations without any other prescriptions?   Cannabis is currently approved for patients in Colorado suffering from cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, Cachexia, persistent muscle spasms, seizures, severe nausea and severe pain; however, Medical Marijuana Registry Program has denied conditions including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and diabetes among others. For the patients whose condition did not make the list or was denied, these patients are finding the relief Cannabis provides in the recreational market. Furthermore, with the lack of medical professionals trained in Cannabis medicine, many patients find recommended dosages, use schedules, and treatment options to be confusing and unregulated.

Forging a New Frontier in Cannabis Written By: Christopher Pauli Our lives depend on plants, for food, clothes and beauty. And there are so many mysteries to explore. For instance: Why can a plant produce both male and female flowers when it appears genetically to be female? Can we determine the tissue-specific gene expression profiles of any organism? The Agricultural Genomics Foundation sponsors a research project at the University of Colorado Boulder that focuses on transcriptomics, or the study of RNA, the next genetic frontier for the Cannabis plant. With numerous transcriptomes sequenced, AGF is aiming to expand upon its previous work in the genome to include RNA data that will help us better understand how gene expression controls the plant. The genes expressed are called RNA, or ribonucleic acid, which collectively referred to as the transcriptome. By comparing the differences between these transcriptomes in different areas on the plant, we can unders

Hey everyone, If you could take a second to sign up for smile.amazon.com to support the Agricultural Genomics Foundation that supports the Cannabis Genomic Research Initiative that focuses on mapping the Cannabis genome to guide breeding, understand the history, and develop the molecular and genetic tests of the future!

As with the importance of understanding other organisms genomes , Cannabis is subject to genetic mutations that can be beneficial, neutral, or harmful. These mutations can then be identified in seedlings through molecular biology techniques. This is the beginning on Marker-Assisted Breeding, which allows for efficient breeding since selection for traits can be done within days of sprouting the seed. Bioinformatics is essential to the future development of this technology since the genome must be established for effective Marker-Assisted Breeding systems.
