Next Trait. Click this button to reach each trait and you can set following parameters.
QTL numbers. Set the number of QTLs to appear in the file.
Heritability. Requires a value in the range 0.0 to 1.0. Default is 0.8.
Vd/Va. Dominant variance/Additive variance
Vi/Va. Epistatic variance/Additive variance
For the Additive, Dominant, and Epistatic effects you want to see in the simulation, you can select
the following:
Effects direction
Same—All values are positive
Both—Values are positive and negative
Sign's Ratio—Ratio of negative:positive.
Effects distribution
Equal—All effects have the same value
Normal—Values derive from normal distribution
Gamma—Values derive from gamma distribution
Parameter—Value for gamma distribution
Note For more information on effects distribution and the additive, dominant, and epistatic effects,
please refer to the QTL Cartographer's manual.
After inputting the parameters in the previous two dialogs, the final dialog presents the data simulation
model you have built. Click in any cell to see that cell's values represented in the fields below.
