How To Install R-qtl on CentOS 7
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install R-qtl on CentOS 7.
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 CentOS 7. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install R-qtl.
Install R-qtl on CentOS 7 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache
After updating yum database, We can install R-qtl using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install R-qtl
Install R-qtl on CentOS 7 Using dnf
If you don’t have dnf installed you can install DNF on CentOS 7 first.
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache
After updating yum database, We can install R-qtl using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install R-qtl
How To Uninstall R-qtl on CentOS 7
To uninstall only the R-qtl package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove R-qtl
