A good understanding of both phenotypic and genetic variation among plants starts with an adequate experimental design. Depending on the objective of the breeding program, recommendations are made regarding the preferred size of a multi-parental population, the number of crossings to be made, how traits of interest can best be scored with phenotyping protocols and how multi-environment trials can be designed best.

High-throughput sequencing and ...
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.
