title: QTL Express: mapping quantitative trait loci in simple and complex pedigrees.
abstract: QTL Express is the first application for Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) mapping in outbred populations with a web-based user interface. User input of three files containing a marker map, trait data and marker genotypes allows mapping of single or multiple QTL by the regression approach, with the option to perform permutation or bootstrap tests.
