The KeyGene Variome Analysis Platform and CropPedia: enabling and accelerating trait discovery

KeyGene supports its customers and partners with cutting edge breeding technologies and plant trait platforms. For many important agronomical crops, KeyGene has elucidated their highly complex genomes. With the Keygene Variome Analysis Platform for the analysis of high volume resequencing data, and the CropPedia system for data integration, we have brought crop genomics to a next level.

The Keygene Variome Analysis Platform creates the perfect view on exploitable genetic variation, enabling more efficient use of germplasm and elite breeding material, and revealing the genetic basis of commercial traits. KeyGene’s Variome Analysis Pipeline focuses on different types of variation, like SNPs, indels, and CNV’s. GENALICE MAP has been fully integrated into the Platform enabling very efficient data processing on commodity hardware. This allowed us to focus more on innovative data analysis on our compute infrastructure.

Results from the Keygene Variome Analysis Platform are seamlessly integrated in CropPedia: the most comprehensive knowledge platform for fast and effective marker development and gene research. It supports novice and experienced molecular biologists to enhance breeding research.

We will showcase the value of our platforms in their application and acceleration to crop improvement and in particular focus on tomato.
