Distributed Computing Blast Implementation

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

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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