Description:
R-qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental crosses. Our goal is to make complex QTL mapping methods widely accessible and allow users to focus on modeling rather than computing. A key component of computational methods for QTL mapping is the hidden Markov model (HMM) technology for dealing with missing genotype data. We have implemented the main HMM algorithms, with allowance for the presence of genotyping errors, for backcrosses, intercrosses, and phase-known four-way crosses. The current version of R-qtl includes facilities for estimating genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and performing single-QTL genome scans and two-QTL, two-dimensional genome scans, by interval mapping (with the EM algorithm), Haley-Knott regression, and multiple imputation. All of this may be done in the presence of covariates (such as sex, age or treatment). One may also fit higher-order QTL models by multiple imputation and Haley-Knott regression.

Control the R-qtl package with the following handy commands outlined below.
yum install R-qtl
This command will install R-qtl on the server.
yum remove R-qtl
This command will un-install R-qtl on the server. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove R-qtl, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y remove R-qtl
This command will un-install R-qtl on the server. When you run this command with th e -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove R-qtl when using the -y flag.
yum update R-qtl
This command will update R-qtl to the latest version. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove R-qtl, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y update R-qtl
This command will update R-qtl to the latest version. When you run this command with the -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove R-qtl when using the -y flag.
yum info R-qtl
This command will show you core information about the R-qtl package.
yum deplist R-qtl
This command will show you the dependencies for R-qtl. Thankfully, when using Yum, if dependencies are required, these are also installed at the same time so you don't have to worry too much about that.
yum check-update R-qtl
This command will check if there is an update waiting on R-qtl. When you run this command this will return nothing if there is nothing to update, or, will return the package name if the package is due to be updated.
