Our Projects

Genome Atlantic projects are initiated by end users who benefit from the genomic solution or technologies developed. Our client-led approach means that our projects are focused on the addressing real-world problems and outcomes that support the goals of our industry, business, government and healthcare partners.

Active Projects

Two psychiatrists at Dalhousie University and the Nova Scotia Health Authority are applying genomics for the early detection and treatment of bipolar disorder.
Corrosion-causing bacteria account for approximately 20 percent of corrosion failures in oil and gas pipelines, yet, relatively little is known about how this phenomenon, known as Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC), occurs.
A major new initiative that adds genomics technologies to traditional geoscience aims to reduce the risk for natural gas exploration in Nova Scotia’s offshore.
Leaping ahead with genomic selection, a technology that promises so much efficiency, it could eventually eclipse conventional tree breeding practices.
New type of balsam fir seedlings are attracting plenty of growers’ interests.
For reasons unknown, farmed east coast Atlantic salmon have so far escaped the costly rise in complex gill disease (CGD) experienced in net pens on the west coast and as far away as Norway and Scotland.
Project aims to speed up diagnosis of rare diseases in children.
Canada-U.S. scientists have embarked on a $6 million collaboration to find genetic clues to help struggling North Atlantic right whales rebound.
N.B.’s L’Étang Ruisseau Bar is teaming up with scientists at Laval University to create a genomic breeding program to produce the first selectively bred Canadian strain of Eastern oyster.
Cleaner-fish like Lumpfish and Cunner are a natural remedy against sea lice in farmed salmon, so they’re in high demand. Genomics technology will help speed up breeding and help cleaner fish production in Canada.
An $800,000 partnership between Genome Atlantic and P.E.I.’s government and blue mussel producers aims to protect this valuable industry against climate change while doubling the province’s production within 10 years.
L’industrie ostréicole dans l’Est du Canada croît rapidement, récoltant des revenus de près de 31 millions de dollars en 2017, une hausse de 25 % par rapport à 2016.
L’Île-du-Prince-Édouard produit 80 % de toutes les moules vendues en Amérique du Nord, ce qui en fait le principal producteur nord-américain de moules d’élevage.
