Blockchain & Cannabis Genomics
Recently I stumbled upon this article titled, Scientists, Funded By Crypto, Using Blockchain to Stop Monsanto from Taking Over Cannabis Industry
With a title like this I couldn't help but read on...
One major concern of cannabis advocates is the possibility of large biotech corporations like Monsanto patenting seeds or even DNA for different strains. A creative solution to this problem is a sort of cannabis genome project, in which researchers use technology that gathers the genetic information of the plant. Medical Genomics, the group behind the project, is publishing all of their results at Kannapedia.com using their StrainSEEK Identification and Registration service. Medical Genomics and its partner organizations are now a part of the Dash network and will be integrating all of the information on Kannapedia over to the Dash blockchain and it is all being funded by Dash.
I would strongly recommend clicking on the video, lots of inspiring ideas and science incorporated despite its brevity.
