Define your cultivar at the genetic level.
True Cut anchors cultivar names to stable genetic data. Verify clones, compare relatedness, and document cultivar identity -- with evidence, not hearsay.
Cannabis has an identity problem.
Cultivar names are inconsistent, reused, and often disconnected from genetics. Identical plants are sold under different names. Different plants are sold under the same name.
This isn’t just confusion -- it creates business risk. Breeders lose naming clarity. Cultivators inherit uncertainty. Buyers get inconsistent product.
Chemical and morphological profiles don’t solve this. They shift with environment, harvest, and processing.
Without genetic verification, identity is not defined. And if identity isn’t defined, it can’t be consistently verified, reproduced, or trusted.
A genetic standard for cultivar identity.
True Cut anchors cultivar names to stable genetic data using genome-wide marker analysis and population genetics.
Each sample receives a genetic identity profile that can be compared across a growing dataset of cultivars -- documenting identity, supporting consistency, and informing licensing conversations with real evidence.
- No more guessing.
- Less reliance on trust-based systems.
- If two samples match, you can document it. If they differ, you can act on that evidence.
See genetic similarity, not just strain names.
Explore the RADseq sample cohort through PCA proximity, branch structure, and pairwise similarity. The views make genetic proximity visible.

Five steps. One Forensic Identity Dossier.
The workflow is account-based: create a breeder account, add one or more $399 samples, complete hosted checkout, complete sample fulfillment, and receive a forensic identity dossier.
Four capabilities. One reference truth.
A genetic fingerprint is not every answer by itself. It is the substrate that makes identity questions answerable.
The record supports the path. It does not choose it.
True Cut documents genetic identity and relationship evidence. Formal legal strategy belongs in a separate review with qualified counsel.
Dossier only
Use the True Cut Forensic Identity Dossier as private documentation for internal review, licensing discussions, material transfer agreements, or other contract-based workflows.
Dossier plus counsel
Pair the dossier with qualified legal review when evaluating patents, plant variety protection, trademarks, contracts, or other formal intellectual-property strategies.
True Cut is not a law firm and does not create ownership rights. Use qualified counsel before filing, licensing, or enforcing any IP strategy. Read the FAQ
Genetic verification, clearly defined.
True Cut documents cannabis cultivar identity using established marker-based fingerprinting. Here's what that means, and what it does not mean.
What True Cut does
- Documented genetic identity
- Relationship analysis (identity vs. kinship, reported separately)
- Records that can support verification, licensing, or legal review
- Trait prediction
- Breeding optimization or seed sales
- Creation of legal ownership rights
Who it’s for
Anyone building a more transparent and consistent cannabis industry.
Stable identity connects everything
Without a stable identity layer, those relationships are harder to study, reproduce, or trust.
Not a new theory. A new application.
The methods underpinning True Cut are already used to document cultivars, detect mislabeling, and study relationships across agricultural datasets.
Marker Fingerprinting
Thousands of genetic markers across the genome generate a unique, stable identity for each plant.
