High Molecular Weight DNA isolation

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.

High parallel computing version of a sequence alignment application.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
