Genomic Selection

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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