README

Developed by the University of Saskatchewan, Pulse Crop Bioinformatics team.

NOTE: This package will replace the following Tripal v3 modules: nd_genotypes, genotypes_loader, tripal_qtl, vcf_filter.

• Provides import and visualization support for genetic maps, markers, sequence variants and QTL

• Large-scale genotypic datasets are supported with both:

  • the power of a relational database for tight integration with germplasm, phenotypic data and with tools across multiple data types
  • the speed/ease of flat file storage and querying via the Variant Call Format (VCF)

• A Genotype Matrix tool for quick visual querying of genotypic differences between germplasm in smaller regions (e.g. QTL or GWAS peak)

• Management of metadata for VCF files including a form for researchers to filter and download the results in multiple formats.
