Haplotype discovery

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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