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.
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.
Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes
Acceleration and cost reduction in plant breeding with improved genotype/phenotype relations, utilizing linked variants.
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.
To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.
Using the state-of-the-art technologies such as long read sequencing technologies, Genetwister is able to build high quality genome assemblies of novel species, and obtain long range genomic information such as haplotypes and structural variants.
Advanced statistical models are needed to increase the power to discover (new) associations between genetic and phenotypic variation
With increasing sample numbers comes the need for automating the most valuable and applied protocols at Genetwister.
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.
