International Weed Genomics Consortium

Resources for weed research

Who Are We?

We host reference genomes of weed species for research discovery.

The International Weed Genomics Consortium (IWGC) provides a platform for private and public collaboration to develop genomic tools and resources and to stimulate global research in weed biology and management.

Understanding evolutionary processes in weeds, such as resistance, stress tolerance, and gene flow, requires genomic resources and a trained workforce to analyze and implement innovation with this data. The IWGC is addressing these challenges to develop the critical resources for major weeds through Academia and Industry research and training partnerships.
