Name : R-qtl
Product : Fedora EPEL 7
Version : 1.36.6
Release : 1.el7
URL : http://www.rqtl.org/
Summary : Tools for analyzing QTL experiments
Description :
R-qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental crosses. 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. We have implemented the main HMM algorithms, with allowance for
the presence of genotyping errors, for backcrosses, intercrosses, and
phase-known four-way crosses.
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 the 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). One may also fit higher-order QTL
models by multiple imputation and Haley-Knott regression.

Update Information:
Version 1.36, 2015-03-05
Major changes:
* None.
Minor changes:
* Added a function flip.order() for flipping the order of markers on selected
chromosomes.
* Added scanonevar.meanperm and scanonevar.varperm (from Robert Corty) for permutation
tests with scanonevar().
* Revised plotPheno (aka plot.pheno) so that one can control the x-axis label and title
(also, in a histogram, the breaks).
* plotPXG: if infer=FALSE and there are no fully-informative genotypes (e.g., in a 4-way
cross), give a more informative error.
* geno.image: allow control of x- and y-axis labels; allow suppression of axes.
* Removed some warnings about missing end-of-line characters, in read.cross with MapQTL
format.
* Fixed a bug in scanonevar; was failing with an error about coercing class "A"
to a data.frame
* Dropped the name summary.scantwo.old(); still available as summaryScantwoOld().
