MapQTL is a specialized Windows application oriented toward genetic scientists. It allows you to decipher intricate connections between quantitative trait loci. There are multiple sophisticated gene analysis methods.

Mapping

The main purpose of this utility is identifying QTLs to pinpoint the exact locations of genetic regions responsible for phenotypic variation. Users are able to perform marker association analysis and interval mapping to find potential candidates.

You can detect plant QTLs that influence traits like yield, quality, disease resistance and pest resilience. Additionally, tools for identifying relevant genes in animals to improve breeding procedures are provided.

Please note that the free evaluation version of MapQTL has limited capabilities. There are other programs for working with genetic data like GeneScan.

Data management and manipulation

Users are able to handle a wide range of phenotypes and environmental variables. Moreover, there are instruments for data cleaning, transformation and visualization. It is possible to provide a clear understanding of the underlying genetic relationships. This is helpful for presenting scientific findings to a large audience or preparing articles for publication.
