Jobs at Genetwister

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

At Genetwister, tools are developed using distributed computing models and technologies like Spark and Hadoop.

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

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

With increasing sample numbers comes the need for automating the most valuable and most often applied protocols at Genetwister.

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.

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.

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

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding
