De novo genome assemblies

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

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.

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

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.

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

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

CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.

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.

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

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.
