Windows QTL Cartographer 2.5
This dialog is fairly self-explanatory. The Hypothesis definitions box describes the conditions for each
hypothesis, with a=additive and d=dominant. The LR setting box describes pre-set likelihood ratio
hypotheses.
Click OK to apply the selected hypotheses options to your display.
Showing QTL information
Select Effects>Show QTL Information… or click on the toolbar to display the Show QTL Information
dialog. From here, you can show QTLs from a simulation parameter file or show summary QTL
information from the likelihood ratio graph peaks.
Select the Open QTL information file option and then the Browse… button to select a file that has the
QTL positions and effects settings you want to use for the display.
Select the Show one or two LOD interval options, as desired, to show empiric QTL confidence
intervals—95 percent is one LOD and 99 percent is two LOD.
Select the Automatically locate QTLs option to specify parameters WinQTLCart will use to find QTLs
in the results. Use the spin dials to specify the minimum acceptable cM range that defines a QTL peak;
if the peak's distance is less than this value, then the highest peak will be considered a QTL. The
minimum acceptable LOD scale as measured by the highest and lowest points of a QTL peak on the
graph. Both of these requirements must be met for a peak to be considered a QTL.
