Description: MetaNetwork maps metabolite quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) underlying variation in metabolite abundance in individuals of a segregating population with a two-part model to account for the often observed spike in the distribution of metabolite data. MetaNetwork predicts and visualizes potential associations between metabolites using correlations of mQTL profiles, rather than of abundance profiles. Simulation and permutation procedures are used to assess statistical significance.
