Long Read Sequencing

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.

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

Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant 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.

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