By default, WinQTLCart looks for data files and other working files in its home directory (typically C:
\NCSU\WinQTLCart) or directory of last opened source data (mcd) file. WinQTLCart saves all files it
creates to the current working directory.
But if your data files reside in another directory or on a network drive, you can tell WinQTLCart to look for
and save its files there.
1. Select Tools>Set Working Directory to display the Set Working Directory dialog.
2. To change the directory, click Modify…, navigate to the directory you want, and click OK. The
new directory appears in the Set Working Directory dialog.
3. Click Set.
Importing and exporting
Importing files
Unless the files you're working on have already been saved as WinQTLCart mapping source data files
(files with a .MCD extension) or are already in the .MCD format 39
, then you need to import them into
WinQTLCart. WinQTLCart will read in the files, verify the data formatting, and save the files in .MCD
format automatically.
WinQTLCart can import files from the following applications:
Application Formats supported
MapMaker/QTL .MAP – Map file
.MPS – Map file
.RAW – Cross data file
51
QTL Cartographer .INP – Map and Cross data files
