Lab automation

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

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.

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.

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.
