Long Read Sequencing

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
