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.

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

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

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

Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes

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.

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.
