Long Read Sequencing

Genomic selection (GS) accelerates achieving genetic gain through shorter breeding cycles and is an alternative to marker-assisted selection. Genetwister implements new breeding schemes and methods that integrate GS for crop improvement.

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

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 high-throughput genomics.
