* Package name : r-cran-qtl Version : 0.9.7-21 Upstream Author : Karl W. Broman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Hao Wu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~kbroman/qtl/index.html * License : GPL 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. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux latitude 2.4.20 #11 Tue Jun 3 14:21:52 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
