نویسندگان
چکیده
MAPfastR is a software package developed to analyze quantitative trait loci data from inbred and outbred line-crosses. The package includes a number of modules for fast and accurate quantitative trait loci analyses. It has been developed in the R language for fast and comprehensive analyses of large datasets. MAPfastR is freely available at: http://www.computationalgenetics.se/?page_id=7.

MAPfastR: QTL mapping in outbred line crosses
MAPfastR is an R package for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in outbred line crosses. It contains all the functions required to perform a QTL analysis in outbred lines. Some of the functions implement different algorithms that can be used interchangeably and it is up to the user to decide which will be applied. This gives the user a certain degree of flexibility when constructing the anal...

We start by considering crosses between inbred lines. The analysis of such crosses illustrates many of the fundamental features of QTL mapping without the additional complications that arise with outbred populations. Although inbred line crosses are uncommon in animal breeding (outside of rats and mice), crosses between widely-differing lines are often treated as an inbred line cross, as we ass...

متن کاملQuantitative trait loci mapping in F(2) crosses between outbred lines.
We develop a mixed-model approach for QTL analysis in crosses between outbred lines that allows for QTL segregation within lines as well as for differences in mean QTL effects between lines. We also propose a method called "segment mapping" that is based in partitioning the genome in a series of segments. The expected change in mean according to percentage of breed origin, together with the gen...
متن کاملMOUSE GENETIC RESOURCES Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Quantitative Traits in Outbred Mice
Recent developments in high-density genotyping and statistical analysis methods that have enabled genome-wide association studies in humans can also be applied to outbred mouse populations. Increased recombination in outbred populations is expected to provide greater mapping resolution than traditional inbred line crosses, improving prospects for identifying the causal genes. We carried out gen...
