A guide to qtl mapping with r/qtl pdf

the QTL mapping software into a general statistical analysis program. Our goal is to make complex QTL mapping methods widely accessible and allow users to focus on modeling rather than computing. A key component of computational methods for QTL mapping is the hidden Markov model (HMM) technology for dealing with missing genotype data. A Guide to QTL Mapping with R/qtl by BROMAN, K.

To load the R/qtl package, type library(qtl) This needs to be done every time you start R. (There is a way to have the package loaded automatically every time, but we won't discuss that here.) 3. To view the objects in your workspace: ls() 4. To get information on a function or data set in R (and in R/qtl) use the function help(), or the This book is a comprehensive guide to the practice of QTL mapping and the use of R/qtl, including study design, data import and simulation, data diagnostics, interval mapping and generalizations, two-dimensional genome scans, and the consideration of complex multiple-QTL models. Two moderately challenging case studies illustrate QTL analysis in simulate QTL mapping data in R/qtl. At the end of the chapter, we describe the internal structure of QTL mapping data within R/qtl; this section should probably be skipped at first reading. In Chap. 3, we describe the various di-agnostic procedures for assessing the quality and integrity of QTL mapping data. Chapter 4 is the heart of the book.
