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...

University of Groningen Controlling the Type I and Type II Errors in Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci

Although the interval mapping method is widely used for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs), it is not very well suited for mapping multiple QTLs. Here, we present the results of a computer simulation to study the application of exact and approximate models for multiple QTLs. In particular, we focus on an automatic two-stage procedure in which in the first stage “important” markers are selec...
