- The Thai government has created policies to boost bioinformatics and genomics.
- Thailand has established several training programs to develop bioinformatics expertise.
- Significant investments have been made in research infrastructure for bioinformatics.
- Thai researchers have contributed to genomic data generation for various organisms.
Takeaway
Thailand is working hard to improve its research in genomics and bioinformatics to help with health and agriculture. The government is supporting these efforts with money and policies.
Limitations
The applications of genomics in agriculture are limited by the lack of genomic sequence data and necessary biochemical information.
