FastQTL is a QTL mapper with several notable features:

- Fast; with a permutation scheme relying on Beta approximation. No need to perform millions of permutations to reach low significance levels, only 100 to 1,000 are needed!
- Flexible; association testing is implemented w/o qualitative/quantitative covariates. Phenotypes can be internally quantile normalized.
- User-friendly; only standard file formats are used and easy-to-use options implemented.
- Cluster-friendly; parallelization is easy to set up for large deployment on compute clusters.

FastQTL is developed by Olivier DELANEAU, Halit ONGEN, Alfonso BUIL & Manolis DERMITZAKIS.
FastQTL is a project developed in the FunPopGen lab.
