Haplotype discovery

Genomic selection (GS) accelerates achieving genetic gain through shorter breeding cycles and is an alternative to marker-assisted selection. Genetwister implements new breeding schemes and methods that integrate GS for crop improvement.

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

With increasing sample numbers and marker panel sizes, it is valuable to increase the throughput of sequencing and genotyping procedures. Genetwister develops cost-effective methods and applies available methods for allowing high-throughput genomics.

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