Genomic Selection

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

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

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.

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

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

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.

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