  abstract	= {We present grid based tools for simultaneous mapping of
		  multiple locations (QTL) in the genome that affect
		  quantitative traits (e.g. body weight, blood pressure) in
		  experimental populations. The corresponding computational
		  problem is very computationally intensive. We have earlier
		  shown that, using appropriate parallelization schemes, this
		  type of application is suitable for deployment on grid
		  systems.
		  
		  A grid portal interface is often an ideal tool for
		  biologists performing advanced genetic analysis. We
		  describe an implementation of such a portal system and how
		  it is used for performing multidimensional QTL searches
		  efficiently.}
