A general and efficient method for estimating continuous IBD functions for use in genome scans for QTL
Background: Identity by descent (IBD) matrix estimation is a central component in mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) using variance component models. A large number of algor...

The SGN comparative map viewer
Background: A common approach to understanding the genetic basis of complex traits is through identification of associated quantitative trait loci (QTL). Fine mapping QTLs require...

Comparative analysis of haplotype association mapping algorithms
Background: Finding the genetic causes of quantitative traits is a complex and difficult task. Classical methods for mapping quantitative trail loci (QTL) in miceuse an F2 cross b...

MetaQTL: a package of new computational methods for the meta-analysis of QTL mapping experiments
Background: Integration of multiple results from Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) studies is a key point to understand the genetic determinism of complex traits. Up to now many effor...

The Cluster Variation Method for Efficient Linkage Analysis on Extended Pedigrees
Background: Computing exact multipoint LOD scores for extended pedigrees rapidly becomes infeasible as the number of markers and untyped individuals increase. When markers are exc...
