Khufu is a data analysis platform that uses bulk sequence analysis to accurately map traits to genes. Scientists and breeders can use Khufu to quickly and accurately identify selection markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL) to rapidly introduce beneficial traits such as disease, drought or pest resistance into cultivated agricultural crops.

Khufu can be used to facilitate marker discovery, to map genes or QTL in inbred, non-inbred, non-controlled, self-pollinated, out-crossed or natural populations, to conduct genome wide association studies and to enable genomic selection (GS) based breeding programs in plant species.
