xQTL workbench - Manual

New biotechnologies enable exciting QTL experiments that link genetic variation to 'all' gene expression, protein and metabolite traits.
Powerful software and hardware are available to analyze these new data but the considerable effort needed to configure pipelines, to scale
up processing and to track raw, intermediate and result data are a barrier for most except a small community of experts. Here we report
XGAP/cluster: a collaborative effort to bring seamless data management, advanced analytical pipelines and high throughput cluster computing
together in one box to biologists workbench.
