Conventional genome assemblies collapse the genetic information of a diploid or polyploid individual into a single-haplotype representation. A single-haplotype representation of…
Advanced statistical models are needed to increase the power to discover (new) associations between genetic and phenotypic variation.
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.
Tailored marker selection allowing for genotyping regardless of species, genome size and ploidy level.
Acceleration and cost reduction in plant breeding with improved genotype/phenotype relations, utilizing linked variants.
CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.
Leafy - Our state-of-the-art lead dicovery platform.
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
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.
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.
