The identification of marker-trait associations is instrumental in the development of breeding lines comprising favourable genetic variation. Advanced statistical models, based on Bayesian statistics, are implemented at Genetwister to optimize association analyses that integrate and combine multi-environment trials and time-series with genetic variation of germplasm collections characterized by large number of markers.

Experimental Design
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.
