QTL Workbook Data

This dialog can be used to view or modify the data structures that are stored within the QTL workbook. If data structure names have been stored in a QTL workbook then when the QTL menus are opened the data structure names will automatically be entered into the relevant fields. Also only the data structures present within that workbook will be displayed in the available data, otherwise all the current data within GenStat will be displayed. When data are present within the QTL workbook you can right-click on the available data list to open a shortcut menu where you can change between displaying data only within the workbook and all data within GenStat.

There are four folders within the workbook which contain the data for different aspects of the QTL analysis. The folders are as follows:

Phenotypic data Displays the data structures for the phenotypic plot data. This data can be used in the preliminary single environment REML analysis for estimating trait means.

Phenotypic means Displays the data structures for the phenotypic means and associated information. This data can be used for the genotype by environment analysis and QTL genome scans.

Genotypic data Displays the data structures for the map data including marker scores, linkage groups and positions within linkage groups. This data can be used for analysis of marker data such as calculating the genetic predictors.

Genetic predictors Displays the data structures for the genetic predictors and associated information. The genetic predictor data is required for a QTL genome scan.

Add data to workbook

This opens a dialog where you can add data structures that are available in GenStat to the QTL workbook. The dialog has a different tab page for each of the four folders in the QTL workbook view.

Delete all data from workbook

This deletes all the data from the QTL workbook. When data structures are deleted from the workbook they are only removed from the workbook and are not deleted from GenStat. If you want to delete data from GenStat you should use the data view or menu item Data | Clear All Data.
