Verify seed identity
from field to verdict.
The end-to-end platform for seed regulators, breeding programs, and research organizations to track samples, analyze genotypes, and issue identity verdicts — with a provable chain of custody at every step.
Seed identity is hard to prove.
Field collection is paper-based. Samples move through multiple custodians with no shared record.
Genotyping data lives in spreadsheets, disconnected from the physical samples it describes.
When a regulator asks "how do you know this is variety X?", the answer is a filing cabinet — not a traceable path.
Seven roles. One unbroken chain.
Each step in the pipeline has a dedicated role, a specialized dashboard, and a clear handoff to the next.
Coordinate
Design studies, define sampling plans, generate barcode labels, and deploy collectors to the field.
Sample
Mobile-first collection with barcode scanning, GPS tagging, and photo verification at the point of sampling.
Transfer
Receive, verify, and consolidate sample shipments with full chain-of-custody tracking at every handoff.
Genotype
Receive samples, run genotyping assays, and process molecular results across DArTag, SNP, and custom formats.
Curate
Import data from external labs, validate against sample records, and govern data quality before analysis.
Analyze
Run clustering and IBS similarity analyses to determine whether seed samples match their claimed variety.
Verify
Review results, issue identity verdicts, and close the loop with annotatable, auditable verification records.
The answer when a regulator asks "how do you know?"
Built for genomic data at scale.
Barcode Chain of Custody
Every sample tracked from label generation through genotyping — seven status transitions, each event-sourced and auditable.
Multi-Format Genotype Import
DArTag count matrices, SNP data, and custom formats parsed, validated, and linked to physical samples automatically.
Clustering & IBS Analysis
Built-in pipelines for UMAP clustering and Identity-by-State similarity — from raw genotypes to variety verdicts.
Role-Based Workflows
Seven specialized dashboards — coordinators, collectors, custodians, lab operators, data stewards, analysts, and verifiers.
Inventory Hierarchy
Parent-child inventory trees with inherited fields, seed class enforcement, and sub-inventory tissue type tracking.
Regulatory-Grade Audit Log
Every mutation produces an immutable domain event — actor, timestamp, command, and payload. When an auditor asks 'show me the history of sample X', the answer is a single query, not a filing cabinet.
The audit log is the architecture.
Varietal Veritas doesn't generate audit reports — it is the audit trail. Every command flows through an event store that records the actor, their role, the exact data that changed, and a monotonic sequence number. Nothing is overwritten. Nothing is deleted.
"Who collected this sample?"
Event: sample_collected — actor, GPS coordinates, photo, timestamp.
"When was this shipment received?"
Event: shipment_delivered — receiving actor, label count, verification timestamp.
"Has this record been modified?"
Full event stream: created → every update with before/after fields → current state.
"Can you prove chain of custody?"
Seven sequential status events per label — label_created through processed — each with actor and timestamp.
Designed for seed certification authorities, OECD seed scheme compliance, and national variety registration — where every identity claim must be backed by traceable, timestamped, actor-attributed evidence.
Trusted by the seed sector.
Seed Regulators
Enforce variety registration requirements with traceable, auditable genotypic evidence from sample to verdict.
Breeding Programs
Track germplasm identity across nurseries, trials, and seed increases — link genotypes back to the source material.
Research Organizations
Manage multi-site collections with standardized workflows, from tissue sampling through molecular analysis.
