| 5 | xQTL workbench is a scalable web system for the |
| 6 | integrated mapping of thousands of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) at |
| 7 | multiple levels: gene expression (eQTL), protein abundance (pQTL), |
| 8 | metabolite abundance (mQTL) and phenotype (phQTL) levels. All |
| 9 | popular QTL mapping methods are accessible via the web user |
| 10 | interface, large calculations scale easily on to multi-core computers, |
| 11 | clusters, and Cloud, and all data involved can be uploaded and |
| 12 | queried online: markers, genotypes, microarrays, NGS, LC-MS, |
| 13 | GC-MS, NMR, etc. When new data types come available, xQTL |
| 14 | workbench can be rapidly customized using the Molgenis toolkit. |
