segMaker: Create a list of possible QTL segregation types

In polyqtlR: QTL Analysis in Autopolyploid Bi-Parental F1 Populations

Description

Function to generate list of segregation types for the exploreQTL function

Usage

segMaker(ploidy, segtypes, modes = c("a", "d"))

Arguments

ploidy	The ploidy of the population. Currently assumed to be an even number for this function.
segtypes	List of QTL segregation types to consider, so e.g. c(1,0) would mean all possible simplex x nulliplex QTL (ie. 4 QTL, on each of homologues 1 - 4 of parent 1). Note that symmetrical QTL types that cannot be distinguished are not automatically removed and need to be manually identified. If this is an issue, use the inbuilt list for tetraploids provided with the package to search the full model space. Such an inbuilt list is currently only available for tetraploids, and is available from the exploreQTL function.
modes	Character vector of modes of QTL action to consider, with options "a" for "additive" and "d" for dominant QTL action.
