We’re proud to share that our latest hop genome research has been published in Nature Communications, one of the world’s leading scientific journals.
The study “Extensive variation between chromosomes of North American and European hop,” was conducted together with Helmholtz München and the Carlsberg Research Laboratory.
It provides one of the most detailed analyses of the hop genome at the chromosomal level -helping to unlock new opportunities for:
For brewers, this research translates into greater growing consistency, flavor expansion, and access to hop varieties better suited for a changing climate.
As climate and agricultural challenges continue to evolve, this research helps lay the foundation for the next generation of hops and brewing innovation.
