Genomics

CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.
Leafy - Our state-of-the-art lead dicovery platform.

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

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.

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

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

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

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

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.

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

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.
