Long Read Sequencing

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Improved genomic selection and breeding utilizing high quality reference genomes

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.
