GAPL Version 1.2
GAPL: Integrated Software for Building Genetic Linkage Maps and Mapping Quantitative Trait Genes in Multi-parental Pure-line Populations
Current version: V1.2; Updated 12 July 2019
Version history: v1.0 released March 2017; v1.2. released September 2018
What’s new in this version? (1) In functionality PLM, the estimated recombination frequency and LOD score were recorded in a temporary external file, in order to increase the capability to handle the large number of markers. In current version, the maximum number of markers can reach 20,000 to 40,000. For markers more than 10,000, we suggest to use functionality BIN to remove the redundancy. (2) In functionality PLM, ordering algorithm was optimized. (3) Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions were provided.
Technical development of GAPL: The software is project based, where kernel modules for building linkage maps were written by C#, those for QTL mapping was written by Fortran 90/95, and the interface was written by C#. It runs on Windows XP/Vista/7/10, with .NET Framework 4.0.
