# Databases Getting Out of Wack

## Let's use Gemma instead of Reaper

* assigned: Bonface, Zach, jgart
* priority: high
* bug

Zachary:
> Yeah, I think you'd want to get the mean (which is simple) + run qtlreaper
> (which I think would need to be run in the background) after a change.

Pjotr:
> Current qtlreaper runs in one of Arthur's scripts globally.

Rob:
> Yes, that and more. These values are displayed in search results and used
> to sort by expression mean and peak LRS (using pathetically old code and
> genotypes). Now if GEMMA were wicked fast we could recompute the 60 million
> BXD vector results and store that as a big juicy TRANSFORMATIVE blob of
> data. A big paper in doing just that. Reaper is just wrong at this
> point. We have LMM: We should use it.
