We will post here news about QGene updates.
Current version is: 4.3.2.
Key to release numbering
The first number (here, 4) describes the base feature package.
If we add features, we kick up the second number: 4.4.
If we fix bugs in 4.4, we tack on a third number: 4.4.1.
This lets us fix unlimited bugs in 4.4
without reaching 4.5.
If we add important functionality we're ready to move up to version 5.0.
News
7.22.09 Version 4.3.2 is released with these fixes or features:
- Trait simulation was generating incorrect QTL genotypes, resulting in reversal of effect signs and slight displacement of peaks.
- PMLE and MT-PMLE are now built exactly according to the specification in the paper.
- Shrinkage IM and MT-Shrinkage IM have been modified to use MIM as the back end instead of CIM.
- QGene allows QTL mapping with fewer progeny in the population (not that it's a good idea!). For a RIL design, you can use a population of 5 progeny. Thanks to MW for reporting the confusing error message.
- Miscellaneous other rarely encountered bugs have been fixed.
6.16.09 Version 4.3.1 is released with these fixes or features:
- Trait analysis that was crashing in some situations.
- Heritability calculation for eQTL analysis (see eQTL analysis page).
- The eQTL analysis should now be stable enough. It should be scalable to processors with many cores.
- Miscellaneous other rarely encountered bugs have been fixed.
- Some known bugs from 4.2.3 are still not fixed.
5.07.09 Version 4.3.0 is released with these new features:
- QGene is faster due to more efficient multithreading routines.
- The launcher has been improved and should be able to detect the Java JDK/JRE more smoothly.
- A fast eQTL analysis is now in place. It may have some bugs, so please consider it a beta feature.
- Miscellaneous other rarely encountered bugs have been fixed.
- Some known bugs from 4.2.3 are still not fixed.
