vqtl: An R Package for Mean-Variance QTL Mapping
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 We present vqtl, an R package for mean-variance QTL mapping. This QTL mapping approach tests for genetic loci that influence the mean of the phenotype, termed mean QTL, the variance of the phenotype, termed variance QTL, or some combination of the two ...

Detection and Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci that Determine Responsiveness [PDF]
, 2004 Exposure to 70% N2O evokes a robust antinociceptive effect in C57BL/6 (B6) but not in DBA/2 (D2) inbred mice. This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the mouse genome that might determine responsiveness to N2O.

Combining two Meishan F2 crosses improves the detection of QTL on pig chromosomes 2, 4 and 6
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2010 Background In pig, a number of experiments have been set up to identify QTL and a multitude of chromosomal regions harbouring genes influencing traits of interest have been identified. However, the mapping resolution remains limited in most cases and the

Fourteen years of R/qtl: Just barely sustainable
, 2014 R/qtl is an R package for mapping quantitative trait loci (genetic loci that contribute to variation in quantitative traits) in experimental crosses. Its development began in 2000. There have been 38 software releases since 2001.

Model selection for quantitative trait loci mapping in a full-sib family
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 Statistical methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in full-sib forest trees, in which the number of alleles and linkage phase can vary from locus to locus, are still not well established.

Genetic Dissection of QTL Associated with Grain Yield in Diverse Environments
Agronomy, 2014 Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs strive to increase grain yield; however, the progress is hampered due to its quantitative inheritance, low heritability, and confounding environmental effects. In the present study, a winter wheat population
