= 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)
* 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
* All data involved can be uploaded and queried online: 
 * Markers
 * Genotypes
 * Microarrays
 * NGS
 * LC-MS
 * GC-MS
 * NMR
* When new data types come available, xQTL workbench can be rapidly customized using the Molgenis toolkit. See MolgenisGuide.
