MAPtools: command-line tools for mapping-by-sequencing and QTL-Seq analysis and visualization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Classical mutagenesis is a powerful tool that has allowed researchers to elucidate the molecular and genetic basis of a plethora of processes in many model species. The integration of these methods with modern massively parallel sequencing techniques, initially in model species but currently also in many crop species, is accelerating the identification of genes underlying a wide range of traits of agronomic interest.

Results

We have developed MAPtools, an open-source Python3 application designed specifically for the analysis of genomic data from bulked segregant analysis experiments, including mapping-by-sequencing (MBS) and quantitative trait locus sequencing (QTL-seq) experiments. We have extensively tested MAPtools using datasets published in recent literature.
