Database developments: (1) A new version of the QTL/associations enrichment analysis tool is available in the Animal QTLdb (listed under "Search and Analysis" tools). This version of the tool allows users to select traits and chromosome regions of interests for analysis of QTL/associations representations in the region versus that of the whole genome. (2) The DOI (Digital Object Identifier) data in the Animal QTLdb is made visible on the abstract view and data summary view pages. Users can follow the DOI link to the full text of a publication when they are available. (3) First phase of curator/editor tools renovation as a result of data model and database structural changes due to the inclusion of eQTL data into the database.
