High throughput precision Phenotyping

Appropriate experimental design and data analysis of breeding trials are essential. Genetwister offers assistance in the experimental design, taking into account all practical considerations of the breeding program.

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.

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

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

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.

Acceleration and cost reduction in plant breeding with improved genotype/phenotype relations, utilizing linked variants.

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

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

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.
