High Molecular Weight DNA isolation

Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes

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

Using state-of-the-art technologies such as long read sequencing technologies allows Genetwister to build high quality genome assemblies of novel species and obtain long range genomic information such as haplotypes and structural variants.

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

Appropriate experimental design and data analysis of breeding trials are essential. Genetwister offers assistance in the design of experiments, aware of breeding program’s practical considerations.

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.

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

High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application

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.
