In 2009, Bejo Zaden B.V. and East-West Seed Group acquired shares of the company, and in 2011, Agribio, now named Dummen Orange, joined as shareholder. In 2013 Known You Seed Co., Ltd joined as a shareholder, and from January 2014, Sakata Seed Corporation became a new shareholder.
High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application.
Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant 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 applied protocols at Genetwister.
To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.
With the increasing demands for DNA molecule size and purity on the newest long read sequencing platforms, comes the need for developing new protocols for DNA isolation from different biological sources in the laboratory at Genetwister.
Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes
Tailored marker selection allowing for genotyping regardless of species, genome size and ploidy level.
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.
