binQTL

Composite interval mapping (CIM) is the dominating algorithmused in QTL analysis of various phenotypes in experimental populations. With the development of next-generation sequening, genotyping of SNPs became much easier, which leads to the development of binmap. In binmap, the distance between adjacent markers were zero. As a result, the conceptof "interval mapping" doesn't make sense in binmap. The **binQTL** package is designed to perform QTL analysis with binmap. In this vignette, we will rely on three simple, illustrative example datasets to explain the usage of **binQTL**.
