MQ2 1.1.0

MQ² aims at extracting and find QTLs from MapQTL output

Author:

A simple python module to process output from QTL mapping tool including MapQTL and R/qtl.

Assuming one QTL per linkage group and using the LOD threshold set by the user. This application extracts all the QTLs detected by the QTL mapping tool, it finds the closest marker and finally put the number of QTLs found for each marker on the genetic map.

This approach quickly allows you to find potential QTL hotspot in your dataset. This is particularly usefull for large QTL analysis on a large number of traits.
