Genome Prairie has established the Canadian Flax Genomics Initiative (CFGI) to help strengthen collaborations among industrial, academic, and governmental stakeholders. This network will enable an efficient exchange of information and will foster a more cohesive and effective genomics R&D community across Western Canada. One of the activities of CFGI is "Taproot" newsletter, which provides up-to-date information on the latest flax research and industry news. The latest articles have been shared with SaskFlax by Genome Prairie.
