R/qtl: QTL Mapping in Experimental Crosses
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY R/qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental populations derived from inbred lines. It is implemented as an add-on package for the freely-available statistical software, R, and includes functions for estimating genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and performing single-QTL and two-dimensional, two-QTL genome scans by multiple methods, with the possible inclusion of covariates. AVAILABILITY The package is freely available at http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~kbroman/qtl.

A brief tour of R/qtl
R/qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental crosses. It is implemented as an add-on package for the freely available and widely used statistical language/software R (see www.r-project.org). The development of this software as an add-on to R allows us to take advantage of the basic mathematical and statistical functions, and powerful...
متن کاملR/qtlbim: QTL with Bayesian Interval Mapping in experimental crosses
UNLABELLED R/qtlbim is an extensible, interactive environment for the Bayesian Interval Mapping of QTL, built on top of R/qtl (Broman et al., 2003), providing Bayesian analysis of multiple interacting quantitative trait loci (QTL) models for continuous, binary and ordinal traits in experimental crosses. It includes several efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for evaluating the ...
متن کاملBayesian mapping of genomewide interacting quantitative trait loci for ordinal traits.
Development of statistical methods and software for mapping interacting QTL has been the focus of much recent research. We previously developed a Bayesian model selection framework, based on the composite model space approach, for mapping multiple epistatic QTL affecting continuous traits. In this study we extend the composite model space approach to complex ordinal traits in experimental cross...
متن کاملMapping quantitative trait loci in noninbred mosquito crosses.
The identification of genes that affect quantitative traits has been of great interest to geneticists for many decades, and many statistical methods have been developed to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). Most QTL mapping studies in experimental organisms use purely inbred lines, where the two homologous chromosomes in each individual are identical. As a result, many existing QTL mapping meth...
متن کاملvqtl: An R package for Mean-Variance QTL Mapping
Most existing methods for QTL mapping in experimental crosses assume that the residual variance is constant across all individuals. But common situations violate this assumption. For many phenotypes, one sex is more variable than the other, some experimenters make more precise measurements than others, and specific genetic factors influence environmental sensitivity. In these cases, mean-varian...
