We are currently undergoing a comprehensive IT security review to strengthen our defenses. Unfortunately, this crucial security review means our website will remain inaccessible for the next few weeks. Please be assured that we are working around the clock to restore GrainGenes and ensure it continues to serve your research needs as securely as possible.
