QTLpoly 
The R package qtlpoly (v. 0.2.4) is an under development software to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) in full-sib families of outcrossing autopolyploid species based on a random-effect multiple QTL model (Pereira et al. 2020).
In order to do so, you will need a genetic map from which conditional probabilities of putative QTL can be computed. We recommend mappoly, a hidden Markov model-based R package to construct genetic maps in autopolyploids (Mollinari and Garcia 2019).
Variance components associated with putative QTL are tested using score statistics (Qu et al. 2013), and final models are fitted using residual maximum likelihood (REML, adapted from the R package sommer). Plots for visualizing the results are based on ggplot2 (v. 3.1 or higher) (Wickham 2016).
Install qtlpoly package
From CRAN (stable version)
qtlpoly's stable version is available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN). You can install it by running:
r
install.packages("qtlpoly")
From Github (development version)
qtlpoly's development version is available here on Github. You can install it using the R package devtools:
r
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("gabrielgesteira/qtlpoly")
If you are using Windows, you may need to first install the latest recommended version of Rtools.
