]]> Welcome to the dna dataverse https://www.genetwister.nl/welcome-to-the-dna-dataverse/ Fri, 21 Apr 2023 08:17:31 +0000 https://genetwister.websols.nl/?p=4578 With the exponential growth of genomic data, breeders and researchers face a new challenge: managing and interpreting vast datasets. As sequencing costs decrease, the volume of genetic information is increasing, and the complexity of traits like yield or disease resistance demands a deeper understanding of the data. To navigate this, breeders must embrace advanced visualization […]

The cucumber pangenome is the culmination of multiple years of effort to bring the possibility of complete genetic characterization of crops closer to plant breeders. The cucumber pangenome is presented by Bart Nijland at […]

A single-haplotype representation of a genome is useful for some of the downstream analyses, for example for variant discovery, however it also has disadvantages. Most importantly, it omits the information on alternative haplotype(s), which might be important for […]
