Experimental Design

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.

CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.
Leafy - Our state-of-the-art lead dicovery platform.

At Genetwister, tools are developed using distributed computing models and technologies like Spark and Hadoop.

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

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.

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.

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

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

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