Lab automation

With the increasing demands for DNA molecule size and purity on the newest long read sequencing platforms, comes the need for developing new protocols for DNA isolation from different biological sources in the laboratory at Genetwister.

Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes

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

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.

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

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.

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

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