Background:

Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) is crucial for identifying genetic loci linked to phenotypic traits.
Previous MutMap and QTL-seq pipelines presented challenges in installation and usability for researchers.
The need for more accessible and efficient BSA tools is evident in genetic research.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and introduce significantly improved, user-friendly pipelines for MutMap and QTL-seq.
To enhance the speed and accessibility of bulked segregant analysis for genetic studies.
To provide easily installable bioinformatics tools for trait-associated locus identification.

Main Methods:

Development of new MutMap and QTL-seq pipelines using Python.
Implementation of easy installation via bioconda, including all necessary dependencies.
Performance benchmarking to quantify speed improvements over previous versions.

Main Results:

The new pipelines are 5-8 times faster than the previous versions.
The updated pipelines are designed for enhanced user-friendliness, catering to novice users.
Bioconda installation simplifies the setup process, making these tools more accessible.

Conclusions:

The enhanced MutMap and QTL-seq pipelines represent a significant advancement in BSA methodology.
These tools lower the barrier to entry for researchers conducting genetic locus identification.
The improved efficiency and accessibility will accelerate genetic research and trait discovery.
