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.
Appropriate experimental design and data analysis of breeding trials are essential. Genetwister offers assistance in the designing of experiments, taking into account the breeding program’s practical considerations.
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.
High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application.
With increasing sample numbers comes the need for automating the most valuable and applied protocols at Genetwister.
Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant breeding
Acceleration and cost reduction in plant breeding with improved genotype/phenotype relations, utilizing linked variants.
Genomic selection (GS) is an alternative to marker-assisted selection, which can accelerate the genetic gain through shorter breeding cycles. Genetwister is implementing new breeding schemes and methods that integrate GS for crop improvement.
Genetwister investigates new methods to integrate phenotypic data into genetic models to support breeding
To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.
