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. |
