Phylos Bioscience is a company in Portland, Oregon, in the United States, that sequences and genotypes cannabis.[1] In 2016 it registered a sequencing project with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) that holds targeted amplicon data from 845 Cannabis sativa samples.[2][3] Its website publishes genotype reports and variety pages for cannabis lines submitted to it. Seed sellers link these reports from their listings.[4][5]
Sequence data
Phylos Bioscience registered BioProject PRJNA347566, Cannabis sativa Raw sequence reads, at NCBI on 10 October 2016.[2] The project holds paired reads from targeted amplicon sequencing of genomic DNA from 845 samples, all run on an Illumina NextSeq 500.[3] Its description states that the company had "characterized the genetic variation in modern Cannabis as well as putative landraces in an effort to develop markers and tools for breeders", and that it had built a web application that visualises cannabis population structure in three dimensions, for choosing cultivars for breeding or research.[2]
One of the project's samples, CRT-1115_Kalinga_Philippines, carries the geographic location "Philippines" and the cultivar label Kalinga_Philippines.[6]
Matthew Aardema and Rob DeSalle downloaded the project's reads for a study published in 2021. They built a database of single-nucleotide polymorphisms for 845 strains and tested it for associations with phenotype data collated from public online strain databases.[3]
Genotype reports
A Phylos genotype report names the organisation behind a sample and the date of its analysis. The report for Greece - Kalamata Red names Delicorganic and dates the analysis to 22 October 2018.[4] ACE Seeds links Phylos genotype reports from several of its product listings.[5]
Research
In February 2018 scientists at Phylos Bioscience sampled three Cannabis sativa plants with symptoms of cannabis stunting disease and three without, on a farm in Santa Barbara County, California. In 2019 they reported hop latent viroid in the plants with symptoms. Of the read pairs sequenced from the symptomatic plants, 2.4 per cent mapped to the viroid's sequences, against 0.0001 per cent from the asymptomatic plants.[7]
