Studies from QTL Archive

A collection of QTL studies across populations and species, curated by the Churchill Group to form the QTL Archive (qtlarchive@jax.org). Each study has phenotype and genotype data for members of a population derived from a specific cross, and includes a list of phenotypes, an Excel archive file and a .csv file formatted for use with R/qtl. Most pages include original analysis scripts and other files, and a list of associated MGI-curated genomic features. Users can locate a data set of interest, download the data, and reproduce or extend analyses locally using software such as R/qtl, J/qtl, QTLRel, or DOQTL. Marker locations use Cox build 37 coordinates unless otherwise stated. QTL Archive resource funded by NIH R01 grant GM070683 to Gary Churchill.
