mrMLM - Multi-Locus Random-SNP-Effect Mixed Linear Model Tools for GWAS

Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes, and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for significant QTL. The program may run on a desktop or laptop computers. If marker genotypes in association mapping population are almost homozygous, these methods in this software are very effective. If there are many heterozygous marker genotypes, the IIIVmrMLM software is recommended.

mrMLM.GUI - Multi-Locus Random-SNP-Effect Mixed Linear Model Tools for Genome-Wide Association Study with Graphical User Interface

Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for true QTL.

SEA - Segregation Analysis

A few major genes and a series of polygene are responsive for each quantitative trait. Major genes are individually identified while polygene is collectively detected. This is mixed major genes plus polygene inheritance analysis or segregation analysis (SEA). In the SEA, phenotypes from a single or multiple bi-parental segregation populations along with their parents are used to fit all the possible models and the best model of the trait for population phenotypic distributions is viewed as the model of the trait. There are fourteen types of population combinations available. Zhang Yuan-Ming, Gai Jun-Yi, Yang Yong-Hua (2003, <doi:10.1017/S0016672303006141>).

QTL.gCIMapping - QTL Genome-Wide Composite Interval Mapping

Conduct multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) and QTL-by-environment interaction (QEI) mapping via ordinary or compressed variance component mixed models with random- or fixed QTL/QEI effects. First, each position on the genome is detected in order to obtain a negative logarithm P-value curve against genome position. Then, all the peaks on each effect (additive or dominant) curve or on each locus curve are viewed as potential main-effect QTLs and QEIs, all their effects are included in a multi-locus model, their effects are estimated by both least angle regression and empirical Bayes (or adaptive lasso) in backcross and F2 populations, and true QTLs and QEIs are identified by likelihood radio test. See Zhou et al. (2022) <doi:10.1093/bib/bbab596> and Wen et al. (2018) <doi:10.1093/bib/bby058>.

dQTG.seq - A BSA Software for Detecting All Types of QTLs in BC, DH, RIL and F2

The new (dQTG.seq1 and dQTG.seq2) and existing (SmoothLOD, G', deltaSNP and ED) bulked segregant analysis methods are used to identify various types of quantitative trait loci for complex traits via extreme phenotype individuals in bi-parental segregation populations (F2, backcross, doubled haploid and recombinant inbred line). The numbers of marker alleles in extreme low and high pools are used in existing methods to identify trait-related genes, while the numbers of marker alleles and genotypes in extreme low and high pools are used in the new methods to construct a new statistic Gw for identifying trait-related genes. dQTG-seq2 is feasible to identify extremely over-dominant and small-effect genes in F2.

Conduct multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping under the framework of random-QTL-effect linear mixed model. First, each position on the genome is detected in order to obtain a negative logarithm P-value curve against genome position. Then, all the peaks on each effect (additive or dominant) curve are viewed as potential QTL, all the effects of the potential QTL are included in a multi-QTL model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes in doubled haploid population or by adaptive lasso in F2 population, and true QTL are identified by likelihood radio test.
