This R package provides methods for genetic finemapping in inbred mice by taking advantage of their very high homozygosity rate (>95%).
Method prio
allows to select strain combinations which best refine a specified genetic region. E.g. if a crossing experiment with two inbred mouse strains ‘strain1’ and ‘strain2’ resulted in a QTL, the outputted strain combinations can be used to refine the respective region in further crossing experiments and to select candidate genes.
