Kyazma specializes in genetic linkage analysis, particularly in diploid experimental populations, through its software products JoinMap® and MapQTL®. JoinMap® is designed for constructing genetic linkage maps, while MapQTL® focuses on the linkage analysis of quantitative traits. Both software tools have their roots in plant genetics but have been adapted for broader applications, including research in various species such as fish, amphibians, and crustaceans. The software has evolved to support the analysis of single full-sib families, enhancing its utility in genetic studies across diverse biological fields.

Recent updates to these software products reflect Kyazma's commitment to improving user experience and computational efficiency. The latest version of MapQTL® (version 7) introduces significant enhancements, including a transition to 64-bit software, redesigned probability computations, and an embedded database system for data storage. Additionally, new analytical methods such as the traits scan and epistasis test have been incorporated to facilitate the analysis of large datasets. Kyazma aims to make advanced statistical genomics methods accessible to experimental geneticists and molecular biologists, ensuring that users can effectively utilize these tools for reliable genetic research outcomes.
