Analysis of experimental multi-parent populations to detect regions of the genome (called quantitative trait loci, QTLs) influencing phenotypic traits measured in unique and multiple environments. The population must be composed of crosses between a set of at least three parents (e.g. factorial design, 'diallel', or nested association mapping). The functions cover data processing, QTL detection, and results visualization. The implemented methodology is described in Garin, Wimmer, Mezmouk, Malosetti and van Eeuwijk (2017) <doi:10.1007/s00122-017-2923-3>, in Garin, Malosetti and van Eeuwijk (2020) <doi:10.1007/s00122-020-03621-0>, and in Garin, Diallo, Tekete, Thera, ..., and Rami (2024) <doi:10.1093/genetics/iyae003>.
