R/qtl tutorial for CTC 2010

 

We will offer a short tutorial on R/qtl at the Complex Trait Consortium meeting in Chicago:

 Sunday, 9 May, 8:00-9:30pm
Monet Room of the Omni Hotel

If you are interested in following along on your own laptop, it would be best to download and install R and R/qtl, and the additional files (below), in advance. You may also wish to print out the PDF of the tutorial. There won't be free WIFI.

I will bring some CDs and USB sticks with the necessary files, as well as hard copies of the tutorial, but there may not be enough for everyone interested.
