Searching for interacting QTL QTL Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) = Regions in the genome containing factors influencing a quantitative trait. Goal: Search for several (2-5) interacting QTL Experimental data from several crossings of farm animal available

Searching for interacting QTL QTL Mapping Algorithms Evaluation of test statistics Find global optimum in 2-5 dimensional search space Significance threshold by randomization testing, i.e., perform hundreds of searches on randomized data Earlier algorithms: Searches for 2 interacting QTL demanding New algorithms: Searches for up to at least 5 interacting QTL reasonable

Searching for interacting QTL Computational demands Randomization test embarrassingly parallel, “no” communication Using new algorithm: Each QTL scan requires  A few CPU minutes (2 interacting QTL)  A few CPU days (5 interacting QTL) Main memory requirement 1-2 Gbyte No major demands on secondary storage
