plot.qtl {qtl}R Documentation

Plot QTL locations

Description

Plot the locations of the QTL against a genetic map

Usage

## S3 method for class 'qtl':
plot(x, chr, horizontal=FALSE, shift=TRUE,
     show.marker.names=FALSE, alternate.chrid=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x An object of class "qtl", as produced by makeqtl.
chr Optional vector indicating the chromosomes to plot. 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.
horizontal Specifies whether the chromosomes should be plotted horizontally.
shift If TRUE, shift the first marker on each chromosome to be at 0 cM.
show.marker.names If TRUE, marker names are included.
alternate.chrid If TRUE and more than one chromosome is plotted, alternate the placement of chromosome axis labels, so that they may be more easily distinguished.
... Passed to plot.map.

Details

Creates a plot, via plot.map, and indicates the locations of the QTL in the input QTL object, x.

Value

None.

Examples

data(fake.f2)

# take out several QTLs and make QTL object
qc <- c("1", "6", "13")
qp <- c(25.8, 33.6, 18.63)
fake.f2 <- subset(fake.f2, chr=qc)

fake.f2 <- calc.genoprob(fake.f2, step=2, err=0.001)
qtl <- makeqtl(fake.f2, qc, qp, what="prob")
plot(qtl)
