Haplotype discovery

High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application.

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

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

Genomic selection (GS) is an alternative to marker-assisted selection, which can accelerate the genetic gain through shorter breeding cycles. Genetwister is implementing new breeding schemes and methods that integrate GS for crop improvement.

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

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

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

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

Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes
