Description : [Biology] GNU R package for genetic marker linkage analysis
From the tutorial: 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 http://www.r-project.org). [...] The
user will benefit from the seamless integration of the QTL mapping
software into a general statistical analysis program. [...]
.
The current version of R/qtl includes facilities for estimating
genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and performing single-QTL
genome scans and two-QTL, two-dimensional genome scans, by interval
mapping (with EM algorithm), Haley-Knott regression, and multiple
imputation. All of this may be done in the presence of covariates
(such as sex, age or treatment). The fit of higher-order QTL models,
with sophisticated techniques for model comparisons and model search,
will be incorporated soon.
