Genesys is the premier global portal dedicated to providing comprehensive information about crop diversity conserved in genebanks. With access to over 4 million genebank accessions, representing a significant portion of the world's crop diversity, Genesys serves as an invaluable resource for breeders and researchers. This platform facilitates easy public access to data from more than 500 collections worldwide, enabling users to swiftly search for and request crop samples. Seeds and other planting materials featured in Genesys are often available for research and breeding purposes, adhering to specific legal and phytosanitary conditions.

Launched in 2011, Genesys was developed through collaborations between Bioversity International, the Crop Trust, and supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The ongoing development aims to enhance user experience and expand the database by incorporating data from more sources and improving search functionality. As part of the Crop Trust, Genesys strives to promote global agricultural biodiversity and sustainability, inviting community contributions to further its mission.
