I am trying to assist a colleague with Quantitative Trait Analysis (QTL)
in mice. We are currently preparing to use MAPMAKER/QTL 1.1. I've
compiled it with minimal difficulty on Irix 6.2.
Questions:
(1) is MapMaker still the preferred tool for this analysis? It's a bit
old, and doesn't have any inherent graphics capability (although it can
generate PostScript). I'd actually prefer to use it, since I've
invested a bit of effort already and the lab scientist is keen to use
it, but would like to know if something else is currently preferred.
(2) Where can one obtain a copy of a recent mouse genetic map in a
format which MapMaker can use?
Thanks,
- Jonathan
