Options window
SNP similarity window
Allow two groups to be defined
based on SNP similarity and to
perform a mean or median
subtraction on each group values for
the correlation or F-statistic.
The checked strains form the first
group and the unchecked strains
form the second group.

Input files

The application expects either:


A gene expression file and SNP file that are
both tab delimited text files.
Or a gene expression file and a tree file
which is a binary file produce by FastMap.
Input files



All the strains that are in the gene
expression file must be in the SNP file.
The strain order does not matter.
The SNP file can contain more strains
than the gene expression file.

LocusZoom ready files

FastMap allows the user to write
LocusZoom ready files to send results
directly to LocusZoom, which will plot
genes and SNP annotation in a specified
region of interest.
