With increasing sample numbers and marker panel sizes, it is valuable to increase the throughput of sequencing and genotyping procedures. Genetwister develops cost-effective methods and applies available methods for allowing high-throughput genomics.
Using state-of-the-art long read sequencing technologies, Genetwister builds high quality genome assemblies of novel species and obtains long-range genomic information such as haplotypes and structural variants.
Appropriate experimental design and data analysis of breeding trials are essential. Genetwister offers assistance in the experimental design, taking into account all practical considerations of the breeding program.
To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.
With increasing sample numbers comes the need for automating the most valuable and most often applied protocols at Genetwister.
Genomic selection (GS) accelerates achieving genetic gain through shorter breeding cycles and is an alternative to marker-assisted selection. Genetwister implements new breeding schemes and methods that integrate GS for crop improvement.
High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding
Genetwister investigates new precision phenotyping methods to integrate phenotypic data into genetic models to support breeding
At Genetwister, tools are developed using distributed computing models and technologies like Spark and Hadoop.
High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.
