Functions in this package allow one to perform statistical analyses to map quantitative trait locus for geometric morphometric data
Geometric morphometrics defines shape as a multivariate trait. Gene pleiotropy on landmark coordinates is the underlying genetic model by definition and multivariate methods are required to map QTL. The package provides Haley-Knott mapping for shape data derived from other R packages: geomorph
, Morpho
, Momocs
or other open source softwares for geometric morphometrics : e.g., MorphoJ
, and for genotype probabilities derived from specific packages depending on the type of crosses (for example calc.genoprob
from R/qtl
for inbred strains).
