r-qtl 1.46-2 R package for analyzing QTL experiments in genetics

R/qtl is an extension library for the R statistics system. It is used to analyze experimental crosses for identifying genes contributing to variation in quantitative traits (so-called quantitative trait loci, QTLs).

Using a hidden Markov model, R/qtl estimates genetic maps, to identify genotyping errors, and to perform single-QTL and two-QTL, two-dimensional genome scans.
