QTL IciMapping

QTL IciMapping is an integrated software package developed by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) for constructing genetic linkage maps and mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in biparental populations. It implements Inclusive Composite Interval Mapping (ICIM) to detect additive and dominant QTL with high power and reduced false positives, and includes options for analyzing epistatic interactions and assessing QTL-by-environment effects across multiple trials. The program supports common population types such as RIL, DH, BC, and F2, offers tools for data checking, marker ordering, and handling missing data, and generates clear LOD profiles, effect estimates, variance explained, and confidence intervals. Its user-friendly, module-based interface and publication-ready outputs make it a practical choice for plant breeding and quantitative genetics research.

Key features:

• ICIM-based detection of additive and dominant QTL
• Modules for linkage map construction, biparental QTL mapping, and multi-environment analysis
• Support for RIL, DH, BC, and F2 populations with common marker types (e.g., SNP, SSR)
• Epistatic QTL analysis and evaluation of QTL-by-environment interactions
• Data quality checks, marker ordering/rippling, and missing-data handling
• LOD curves, effect sizes, phenotypic variance explained, confidence intervals, and exportable reports
