    QTXNetwork is a GPU computation software for linkage and association analyses of epistasis and environment interaction of complex traits based on omics genotypes. It contains four functional modules: quantitative trait locus (QTL) for linkage analysis, quantitative trait SNP (QTS) for genome-wide association analysis, quantitative trait transcript/protein/metabolite (QTT/P/M) for transcriptome, proteome, metabolome association analysis, and GMDR for data filtering which will be used in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). By using the massive parallel nature of multi-GPUs, QTXNetwork can perform association analyses on large-scale omics data for complex traits.

QTXNetwork requires that your system be equipped with a NVIDIA CUDA-compatible device. The NVIDIA drivers must be version CUDA 5.5 (or greater) for your systems.

If Visual Studio 2010 is not installed in your Windows system, you should install visual c++ 2010 redistributable package to run QTXNetwork. For x64 systems, download and install vcredist_x64.exe . For x86 system, download and install vcredist_x86.exe .
