In this tutorial, we will explore MAPpoly2, an R package under development for constructing genetic maps in autopolyploid species. MAPpoly2 is an extension of MAPpoly, designed to handle a wider range of ploidy levels and to provide a more user-friendly experience with additional graphical functions and potential integration with R Shiny. Our focus will be on constructing integrated maps for multiple full-sib families of alfalfa, an important autotetraploid crop. Let’s begin by installing MAPpoly2 from GitHub.
