    QTLNetwork-2.0 is user-friendly computer software for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) with epistatic effects and QE interaction effects in DH, RI, BC, F2, IF2 and BxFy populations, and for graphical presentation of QTL mapping results. The software is programmed by C++ programming language under Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 environment. It works with Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 95/98, NT, 2000, XP, 2003server. A new version of QTLNetwork is under developing, and its functions will be extended to include linkage group construction and marker-assisted virtual breeding.
