Abstract: Nematodes are attractive model systems to understand the genetic basis of various biological processes ranging from development to complex behaviors. In particular, mutagenesis experiments combined with whole-genome sequencing has been proven as one of the most effective methods to identify core players of multiple biological pathways. To enable experimentalists to apply such integrative genetic and bioinformatic analysis in the case of the satellite model organism Pristionchus pacificus, I present a simplified workflow for the analysis of whole-genome data from mutant lines and corresponding mapping panels. Individual components are based on well-maintained and widely used software packages and are extended by 50 lines of code for the analysis and visualization of allele frequencies. The effectiveness of this workflow is demonstrated by an application to recently generated data of a P. pacificus mutant line, where it reduced the number of candidate mutations from an initial set of 3,500 single nucleotide variants to ten.
