Distributed Analysis Computing

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

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

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

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

Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes

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.

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

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.

High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application.

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.
