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.

Tailored marker selection allowing for genotyping regardless of species, genome size and ploidy level.

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant breeding

Using state-of-the-art long read sequencing technologies, Genetwister builds high quality genome assemblies of novel species and obtains long-range genomic information such as haplotypes and structural variants.

To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.

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.

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.

At Genetwister, tools are developed using distributed computing models and technologies like Spark and Hadoop.
