How To Install R-qtl on AlmaLinux 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install R-qtl
on AlmaLinux 8.
What is R-qtl
R-qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental crosses. Our goal is to make complex QTL mapping methods widely accessible and allow users to focus on modeling rather than computing. A key component of computational methods for QTL mapping is the hidden Markov model (HMM) technology for dealing with missing genotype data. We have implemented the main HMM algorithms, with allowance for the presence of genotyping errors, for backcrosses, intercrosses, and phase-known four-way crosses. The current version of R-qtl includes facilities for estimating genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and performing single-QTL genome scans and two-QTL, two-dimensional genome scans, by interval mapping (with the EM algorithm), Haley-Knott regression, and multiple imputation. All of this may be done in the presence of covariates (such as sex, age or treatment). One may also fit higher-order QTL models by multiple imputation and Haley-Knott regression.
We can use yum
or dnf
to install R-qtl
on AlmaLinux 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install R-qtl.
Install R-qtl on AlmaLinux 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf
using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
After updating yum database, We can install R-qtl
using dnf
by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install R-qtl
Install R-qtl on AlmaLinux 8 Using yum
Update yum database with yum
using the following command.

After updating yum database, We can install R-qtl
using yum
by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install R-qtl
How To Uninstall R-qtl on AlmaLinux 8
To uninstall only the R-qtl
package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove R-qtl
