Biology, Bioinformatics, Genetics and Genomic Breeding

The focus of Genetwister Technologies is to support their clients in the development of plant cultivars with superior quality through practical application of Biology, Bioinformatics, Genetics and Genomic Breeding. Genome and transcriptome assembly and annotation, as well as  high throughput marker discovery  and genotyping provide the foundation of a large share of the research projects at Genetwister Technologies. Molecular markers are developed for marker-assisted breeding, metabolic engineering and diagnostics and for association studies to unravel the genetic and genomic basis of agriculturally important traits. Besides marker based research, also differential gene expression analysis is applied to provide essential insights into the genomic foundation of traits of interest. The proprietary bio-informatics software that is developed at Genetwister Technologies actively supports  the clients in the practical application of all the acquired knowledge to accelerate their breeding programs.
