Genetwister investigates new precision phenotyping methods to integrate phenotypic data into genetic models to support breeding

Acceleration and cost reduction in plant breeding with improved genotype/phenotype relations, utilizing linked variants.

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

With increasing sample numbers comes the need for automating the most valuable and most often applied protocols at Genetwister.

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

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

Genomic selection (GS) accelerates achieving genetic gain through shorter breeding cycles and is an alternative to marker-assisted selection. Genetwister implements new breeding schemes and methods that integrate GS for crop improvement.

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.

Advanced statistical models are needed to increase the power to discover (new) associations between genetic and phenotypic variation.

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding
