I've upoloaded Project #2 to the course website. It shouldn't come as a shock to you that it involves using QTL Cartographer. There's a link to the data file on the course detail page for tomorrow's lecture, but here it is again:
Fracheb1map_inp_In.mcd. As you'll see, this file contains phenotypic information on eighteen traits. I'm only asking you to analyze four of them (though you can analyze more if you feel like it). It takes about 2 1/2 hours per trait to find the appropriate threshold value, so I'll be updating a table with suggested threshold values in the assignment as I finish those analyses.
I had to fight with this data set quite a bit to get it to run. I suggest trying a preliminary analysis to make sure you can get it to run. That way there will be more time for me to help you solve any problems you may encounter. Enjoy!
