In qtl: Tools for Analyzing QTL Experiments

Pull out recombination fractions or LOD scores from a cross object

Description

Pull out either the pairwise recombination fractions or the LOD scores, as calculated by est.rf, from a cross object.

Usage

pull.rf(cross, what=c("rf", "lod"), chr)

Arguments

cross	An object of class cross. See read.cross for details.
what	Indicates whether to pull out a matrix of estimated recombination fractions or a matrix of LOD scores.
chr	Optional vector indicating the chromosomes to consider. This should be a vector of character strings referring to chromosomes by name; numeric values are converted to strings. Refer to chromosomes with a preceding - to have all chromosomes but those considered. A logical (TRUE/FALSE) vector may also be used.

Value

An object of class "rfmatrix", which is a matrix of either estimated recombination fractions between all marker pairs or of LOD scores (for the test of rf=1/2) for all marker pairs.

The genetic map is included as an attribute.
