Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping and Effect Size Calculation Software
A bioinformatics tool that performs association mapping (GWAS, linkage analysis) to identify quantitative trait loci and quantifies the additive and dominance effects of markers across diverse genetic backgrounds. This generates intellectual property in marker-trait associations that can be patented or licensed, creating defensible competitive advantages for breeding programs.
