In 2009 Bejo Zaden B.V. and East-West Seed Group acquired shares of the company, and in 2011, Agribio, now named Dümmen Orange, joined as shareholder. In 2013 Known You Seed Co., Ltd joined as a shareholder and in January 2014, Sakata Seed Corporation became a shareholder of Genetwister.
Tailored marker selection allowing for genotyping regardless of species, genome size and ploidy level.
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.
High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding
At Genetwister, tools are developed using distributed computing models and technologies like Spark and Hadoop.
With increasing sample numbers comes the need for automating the most valuable and most often applied protocols at Genetwister.
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.
Advanced statistical models are needed to increase the power to discover (new) associations between genetic and phenotypic variation.
High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.
To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.
