Long Read Sequencing

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

To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

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

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

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.

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

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

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