Genomic Selection

Appropriate experimental design and data analysis of breeding trials are essential. Genetwister offers assistance in the designing of experiments, taking into account the breeding program’s practical considerations.

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

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

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.

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

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

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