eQTL Explorer: integrated mining of combined genetic linkage and expression experiments

Abstract

Summary: The development of computational resources to visualise and explore data from combined genome-wide expression and linkage studies is essential for the development of testable hypotheses. eQTL Explorer stores expression profiles, linkage data and information from external sources in a relational database and enables simultaneous visualisation and intuitive interpretation of the combined data via a Java graphical interface. eQTL Explorer provides a new and powerful tool to interrogate these very large and complex datasets. Availability: The application is freely available for non-commercial research. Contact
