Abstract
General Utilities for Genotyping Study (GUGS) is a toolbox for aiding the analysis of DNA marker data and its design in Microsoft Excel (MS Excel). GUGS provides more than 100 flexible functions for the manipulation, evaluation, and conversion of genotype data. It also provides functionalities for genotype format conversion to support linkage analysis using JoinMap software, frequency analysis for population genetics, parentage analysis, and statistical genetic analysis. Its functionality for the manipulation of nucleotide or amino acid sequences also assists DNA marker design. These GUGS features enable users to conduct all steps from DNA marker design to preliminary evaluation, data analysis, and format conversion for advanced study in a single environment without having to export/ import data. GUGS is freely available at https://github.com/tokurou/GUGS under the GPL v3 license. Discipline: Crop Science Additional key words: bioinformatics, breeding, DNA marker, genetics, linkage analysis
期刊介绍:
The Japan Agricultural Research Quarterly (JARQ) is a publication of the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), which provides readers overseas with the latest information on key achievements and developments in agricultural research in Japan, with the expectation that this information would contribute to the agricultural development of countries in tropical and subtropical regions.
