At Genetwister, tools are developed using distributed computing models and technologies like Spark and Hadoop.
Tailored marker selection allowing for genotyping regardless of species, genome size and ploidy level.
Discovery of markers in all plant species by next-generation sequencing for accelerated plant breeding
To interconnect different knowledge domains, we use different semantic web technologies.
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.
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 performance BLAST implementation adapted to run in Spark clusters.
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.
