+## Genotype Files
+
+You can get the genotype files from http://ipfs.genenetwork.org/ipfs/QmXQy3DAUWJuYxubLHLkPMNCEVq1oV7844xWG2d1GSPFPL and save them on your host machine at, say `$HOME/genotype_files` with something like:
+
+```bash
+$ mkdir -p $HOME/genotype_files
+$ cd $HOME/genotype_files
+$ yes | 7z x genotype_files.tar.7z
+$ tar xf genotype_files.tar
+```
+
+The `genotype_files.tar.7z` file seems to only contain the **BXD.geno** genotype file.
+
+## QTLReaper (rust-qtlreaper) and Trait Files
+
+To run QTL computations, this system makes use of the [rust-qtlreaper](https://github.com/chfi/rust-qtlreaper.git) utility.
+
+To do this, the system needs to export the trait data into a tab-separated file, that can then be passed to the utility using the `--traits` option. For more information about the available options, please [see the rust-qtlreaper](https://github.com/chfi/rust-qtlreaper.git) repository.
+
+### Traits File Format
+
+The traits file begins with a header row/line with the column headers. The first column in the file has the header **"Trait"**. Every other column has a header for one of the strains in consideration.
+
+Under the **"Trait"** column, the traits are numbered from **T1** to **T<n>** where **<n>** is the count of the total number of traits in consideration.
+
+As an example, you could end up with a trait file like the following:
+
+```txt
+Trait BXD27 BXD32 DBA/2J BXD21 ...
+T1 10.5735 9.27408 9.48255 9.18253 ...
+T2 6.4471 6.7191 5.98015 6.68051 ...
+...
+```
+
+It is very important that the column header names for the strains correspond to the genotype file used.
