NEW CannMed Coffee Talk, we discuss Identifying the Skunk Genes in Cannabis! #shorts #cannabiseducation #growers

During our conversation, we discuss:

⦾ What volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are and why they give certain cannabis strains their skunky, garlicky smell
⦾ How Manny’s path from cannabis cultivator and award-winning edible chef led him into bioinformatics at Canimatrix
⦾ Why the GMO (“garlic mushroom onion”) cultivar was chosen as the ideal candidate for studying VSCs
⦾ How hidden Markov models were used to find candidate VSC genes by comparing cannabis proteins to garlic, onion, and other sulfur-producing plants
⦾ And more!
