xQTL Introduction

xQTL workbench is a scalable web system for the integrated mapping of thousands of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) at multiple levels:

  • gene expression (eQTL),
  • protein abundance (pQTL),
  • metabolite abundance (mQTL) and
  • phenotype (phQTL) levels.

Main features:

  • Popular QTL mapping methods are accessible via the web user interface,
  • large calculations scale easily on to multi-core computers, clusters, and Cloud, and
  • all data involved can be uploaded and queried online:
    • markers,
    • genotypes,
    • microarrays,
    • NGS,
    • LC-MS,
    • GC-MS,
    • NMR, etc.

When new data types come available, xQTL workbench can be rapidly customized using the Molgenis toolkit. See MolgenisGuide. workbench can be rapidly customized using the Molgenis toolkit. See MolgenisGuide.
