Genomic Selection

Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant breeding

Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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