High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding
At Genetwister, tools are developed using distributed computing models and technologies like Spark and Hadoop.
High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding
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.
Acceleration and cost reduction in plant breeding with improved genotype/phenotype relations, utilizing linked variants.
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.
Tailored marker selection allowing for genotyping regardless of species, genome size and ploidy level.
Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant breeding
CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.
Leafy - Our state-of-the-art lead dicovery platform.
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.
Genetwister investigates new precision phenotyping methods to integrate phenotypic data into genetic models to support breeding
