De novo genome assemblies

High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application

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.

Using state-of-the-art technologies such as long read sequencing technologies allows Genetwister to build high quality genome assemblies of novel species and obtain long range genomic information such as haplotypes and structural variants.

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

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

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

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.

Appropriate experimental design and data analysis of breeding trials are essential. Genetwister offers assistance in the design of experiments, aware of breeding program’s practical considerations.

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.
