Software Development

Using state-of-the-art long read sequencing technologies, Genetwister builds high quality genome assemblies of novel species and obtains long-range genomic information such as haplotypes and structural variants.

High-quality reference genome assemblies improve Genomic Selection and breeding

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.

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

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

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

CROPaware – A web based software platform for breeding and genomics data management.
Leafy - Our state-of-the-art lead dicovery platform.

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