Lab automation

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.

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

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

High performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.

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

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.
Leafy - Our state-of-the-art lead dicovery platform.

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.

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