Genomic Selection

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.

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

High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application.

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

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.

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

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.
