What's new in MapMaker 3.0
Oct 26, 2010
- Many many bug-fixes, feature, and user-interface improvements.
- A sophisticated algorithm for detecting typing errors in data from experimental crosses (see Lincoln and Lander, "Systematic Detection of Errors in Genetic Linkage Data" Genomics 14: 604-610)
- The ability to draw genetic maps (in MAPMAKER/EXP) and LOD-score plots (in MAPMAKER/QTL) as PostScript files.
- Support for additional cross types, including F2 intercross, BC1 backcross, F3(self) intercross, and sib and self mated Recombinant Inbreds in MAPMAKER/EXP.
- Many features for automating analysis and storing results, particularly useful with very large data sets. An outline of a database interface is provided, for sites who wish to integrate MAPMAKER into their informatics systems.
- New "three point" and "join haplotypes" features for speeding lengthy analyses.
- A new license agreement which allows free redistribution of MAPMAKER. Under
- specific conditions, you may even distribute modified versions of MAPMAKER.
