To facilitate the widespread use of our approaches for correcting linkage groups in segregation distortion population, C++ programming language under the framework of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 platform was used to develop a new software, named Distorted-Map. Results showed that the DistortedMap software included three modules: simulating bi-parental populations, correcting genetic distance between distorted markers, and mapping quantitative trait locus for quantitative traits. This software can unbiasedly estimate genetic distance between distorted markers and remove the effect of marker segregation distortion on mapping quantitative trait loci. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
