mouseXO: Numbers of crossovers in the mouse

In kbroman/labstat: Statistics for Lab Scientists

Description

Numbers of crossovers on each chromosome for each meiotic product from two inter-specific mouse backcrosses: (C57BL/6J x Mus spretus) x C57BL/6J and (C57BL/6J x SPRET/EiJ) x SPRET/EiJ. Note that recombination is occuring in the female in each cross.

Usage

data(mouseXO)

Format

A data frame with rows corresponding to meioses (there are 94 meioses for each backcross) and columns corresponding to the 20 chromosomes. There is also a column for the total number of crossovers, genome-wide, for each meiosis.

total <- mouseXO[,ncol(mouseXO)]
cross <- rep(1:2,rep(94,2))
par(las=1)
boxplot(split(total,cross),names=c("BSB","BSS"),
        ylab="Total no. crossovers", xlab="Cross")

rug(total[cross==2]+runif(94,-0.1,0.1),side=4)
