Ÿnsect Launches Ÿnfabre, the world’s first industrial programme dedicated to beetle genetics

The ŸNFABRE programme aims to develop high-precision phenotyping tools for the next generation of the group’s breeders, which will secure the supply of larvae to the group’s insects farms. The sequencing of the mealworm genome represents an innovative breakthrough for the structure of the insect farming industry, based on enhanced breeds of insects stemming from a particular selection process.
