The WinQTLCart Input Engine imports a Windows QTL Cartographer .mcd file (Wang, Basten, and Zeng 2007) and generates two SAS data sets:
|
•
|
A data set that contains the marker genotypes and traits, and can be used as the Input Data Set for downstream JMP Genomics QTL mapping processes.
|
|
•
|
A data set that lists marker map and other annotation information, and can be used as the Annotation Data Set for downstream JMP Genomics processes.
|
One Windows QTL Cartographer .mcd file is required to run the WinQTLCart Input Engine. The wqcart-samp0.mcd is located in the Sample Data\Genetics\QtlMapping directory included with JMP Genomics.
The wqcart-samp0.mcd file was opened in Windows QTL Cartographer. This file, which is essentially formatted as a tab-delimited text file, is shown below.
For detailed information about the files and data sets used or created by JMP Life Sciences software, see Files and Data Sets.
The output data sets generated by this process are listed in a Results window. Refer to the WinQTLCart Input Engine output documentation for detailed descriptions.
