New functions for exploring multiple-QTL models
نویسنده
چکیده
The scanqtl function, while completely flexible and so suitable for most purposes, is rather cumbersome to use. Our most important additions are the functions addqtl, to scan for a single QTL to be added to a multiple-QTL model, and addpair, to scan for a pair of QTL to be added to a multiple-QTL model. The output of these functions is of the forms produced by scanone and scantwo, respectively, and so one may use the corresponding plot and summary functions, making the results easier to deal with. For most purposes, these functions will be sufficient and direct calls to scanqtl will no longer be needed. Thus, we will not discuss the use of scanqtl further here.

R/qtl: high-throughput multiple QTL mapping
MOTIVATION R/qtl is free and powerful software for mapping and exploring quantitative trait loci (QTL). R/qtl provides a fully comprehensive range of methods for a wide range of experimental cross types. We recently added multiple QTL mapping (MQM) to R/qtl. MQM adds higher statistical power to detect and disentangle the effects of multiple linked and unlinked QTL compared with many other metho...
متن کاملExploring the Use of Random Regression Models withLegendre Polynomials to Analyze Clutch Sizein Iranian Native Fowl
Random regression models (RRM) have become common for the analysis of longitudinal data or repeated records on individual over time. The goal of this paper was to explore the use of random regression models with orthogonal / Legendre polynomials (RRL) to analyze new repeated measures called clutch size (CS) as a meristic trait for Iranian native fowl. Legendre polynomial functions of increasing...
متن کاملThe statistical analysis of multi-environment data: modeling genotype-by-environment interaction and its genetic basis
Genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is an important phenomenon in plant breeding. This paper presents a series of models for describing, exploring, understanding, and predicting GEI. All models depart from a two-way table of genotype by environment means. First, a series of descriptive and explorative models/approaches are presented: Finlay-Wilkinson model, AMMI model, GGE biplot. All of ...
متن کاملMultiple-interval mapping for quantitative trait loci with a spike in the trait distribution.
For phenotypic distributions where many individuals share a common value-such as survival time following a pathogenic infection-a spike occurs at that common value. This spike affects quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping methodologies and causes standard approaches to perform suboptimally. In this article, we develop a multiple-interval mapping (MIM) procedure based on mixture generalized line...
متن کاملExploring Neural Correlates of Different Dimensions in Drug Craving Self-Reports among Heroin Dependents
Introduction: Drug craving could be described as a motivational state which drives drug dependents towards drug seeking and use. Different types of self-reports such as craving feeling, desire and intention, wanting and need, imagery of use, and negative affect have been attributed to this motivational state. By using subjective self-reports for different correlates of drug craving along ...
