// Definition
A genetics research project that analyzed hundreds to thousands of dispensary cannabis samples across multiple US states using genomic data to map the interrelatedness of modern cannabis varieties, revealing a 'giant web' of hybridization rather than distinct lineages.
// From the Episode
Rob Clarke and Skunkman Sam were both involved. Clarke described the results as showing nodes of key varieties, all interconnected with no isolated satellites, confirming massive reshuffling of the genetic deck. They planned to add landrace samples to map the evolutionary branches beneath the 'canopy' of modern hybrids. Clarke warned the narrow genetic base mirrors what happened with corn before devastating blights.
