MQ² aims at extracting and find QTLs from MapQTL output
Project description
A simple python module to process output from MapQTL analysis.
Assuming one QTL per linkage group and using the LOD threshold set by the user. This application extracts all the QTLs detected by MapQTL, using the JoinMap map file, it finds the closest marker and finally put the number of QTLs found for each marker on the 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.
