Display Genetic Map
See Also
This menu can be used to plot a genetic map of marker positions for all or a subset of linkage groups (or chromosomes). The marker names can be viewed on the resulting graph in the graphics viewer using the data info tool.

Available Data

This lists data structures appropriate to the current input field. Double-click on a name to copy it to the current input field; alternatively, you can type the name directly into the input field. If data has been stored in a QTL workbook then only the data structures present within that workbook will be displayed in the available data, otherwise all the current data within GenStat will be displayed. When data are present within the QTL workbook you can right-click on the available data list to open a shortcut menu where you can change between displaying data only within the workbook and all data within GenStat.

Linkage groups

A factor defining the different linkage groups (or chromosomes).

Positions within linkage groups

A variate specifying the positions of the markers within the linkage groups.

Marker names

A text specifying the names of each of the markers. If supplied the marker names can be viewed on the resulting graph in the graphics viewer using the data info tool.

Orientation

Specifies whether the genetic map is to be drawn vertically or horizontally.

Subset of linkage groups

This option can be used to display a subset of the linkage groups. This can be set to variate or a scalar of the group number(s) defining a subset of the levels of the linkage groups factor. If the linkage groups factor contains labels then a text defining a subset of its labels can be supplied. Alternatively, a comma seperated list of group number(s) or labels can be supplied so specify the subset of linkage groups.
