**What it does:** 

This tool is part of the CloudMap pipeline for analysis of mutant genome sequences. For further details, please see `Gregory Minevich, Danny Park, Richard J. Poole and Oliver Hobert.  CloudMap: A Cloud-based Pipeline for Analysis of Mutant Genome Sequences. (2012 In Preparation)`__

Following the approach detailed in Zuryn et al., Genetics 2010, this tool plots histograms of variant density in a mutant C.elegans strain that has been backcrossed to its (pre-mutagenesis) starting strain. Common (i.e. non-phenotype causing) variants present in multiple WGS strains **with the same background** should first be subtracted using the GATK tool *Select Variants*.

Sample output where LG III shows linkage to the causal mutation is shown below. In this example, common variants from another strain have been subtracted and remaining variants have been filtered for most common EMS-induced mutations i.e. G/C --> A/T):

The experimental approach is detailed in Figure 1a from Zuryn et al., Genetics 2010:

Subtracting common (non-phenotype causing) variants from more whole genome sequenced strains (using GATK Tools *Select Variants*) will result in less noise and a tighter mapping region. Additional backcrosses will also result in a smaller mapping region.
