Description

Make map from locus IDs.

Usage

1

Arguments

ids

Vector of default marker IDs, default QTL names, or pseudomarker IDs.

Value

An R/qtl map object. The returned object is a genetic map if the input ids are default QTL names or pseudomarkers. A physical map is returned if the input ids are default marker IDs.

Map

The R/qtl map object - described in detail in Section 2.6 of Broman and Sen (2009) - comprises a nonempty list, each element of which contains two or more marker positions for a given chromosome. Each list element is named for its corresponding chromosome, while the names of each chromosome's marker position vector comprise the marker locus IDs.

Within shmootl, a map must represent either a genetic or a physical map. These are distinguished by the 'map.unit' attribute of an object, which can contain either genetic or physical map units.
