|---|
Summary: QTLNetwork is a software package for mapping and visualizing the genetic architecture underlying complex traits for experimental populations derived from a cross between two inbred lines. It can simultaneously map QTLs with individual effects, epistasis, and QTL-environment interaction. Currently, it is able to handle data from F2, backcross, recombinant inbred lines and double-haploid populations, as well as populations from specific mating designs (immortalized F2 and BCnFm populations). The Windows version of QTLNetwork was developed with a graphic user interface. And also, the command-line versions have the facility to be run in other prevalent operating systems, such as Linux, Unix and MacOS.
