Valentine’s Day without chocolate? Say it isn’t so… ! Not long ago, disease ridden cacao crops made this heart-breaking scenario as a real possibility. Thankfully, due to some “research-love” in the field genomics, the world’s chocolate-lovers can breathe a collective sigh of relief. In 2008, IBMers and candy-makers at Mars Inc. launched a program to sequence, assemble and ultimately identify disease-resistant genomes in cacao plants. The result: healthier beans for farmers and a healthier chocolate supply for everyone. We ❤ ❤ ❤ research.
