makeDefaultQTLNames: Make default QTL names for the specified loci.

In gact/shmootl: QTL Analysis Utilities for Yeast

Description

Make default QTL names for the specified loci.

Usage

makeDefaultQTLNames(loc, step = 0)

Arguments

loc	Locus data.frame, with columns 'chr' and 'pos', specifying genetic map positions.
step	Map step size.

Value

Character vector of default QTL names.

QTL Names

A QTL name can be any valid item ID (see package overview). Default QTL names are of the form '04@33.0'. As with pseudomarker IDs, this indicates the chromosome and genetic map position of the QTL, where '04' is a chromosome ID and '33.0' is the position of the given QTL in centiMorgans.

In a default QTL name, the minimum precision of the map position is one tenth of a centiMorgan. As in R/qtl, if the map step size is smaller than this, the default QTL name is adjusted to match the appropriate level of precision.
