About us

High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application.

Genomic selection (GS) is an alternative to marker-assisted selection, which can accelerate the genetic gain through shorter breeding cycles. Genetwister is implementing new breeding schemes and methods that integrate GS for crop improvement.

CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.

Appropriate experimental design and data analysis of breeding trials are essential. Genetwister offers assistance in the designing of experiments, taking into account the breeding program’s practical considerations.

Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant breeding

Tailored marker selection allowing for genotyping regardless of species, genome size and ploidy level.

To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.

Advanced statistical models are needed to increase the power to discover (new) associations between genetic and phenotypic variation

Acceleration and cost reduction in plant breeding with improved genotype/phenotype relations, utilizing linked variants.

Genetwister investigates new methods to integrate phenotypic data into genetic models to support breeding
