Yesterday, Genome Canada announced the results of the Applied Genomics Research in Bioproducts or Crops (ABC) Competition. A total of 12 projects were funded with $53 million of Genome Canada dollars levering a total of $112 million in total funding.

Rob Annan has some amusing commentary on the whole affair. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

All in all, I’m pretty thrilled that the western Genome Centres snagged 8 of the 12 awards.
