Arguments
filename
An optional character string with path name specifying the file to be read in. Omission of this argument will prompt a dialog box for selecting a file.
pheno.col
An optional numeric vector specifying which columns the phenotypes of interest are in. If omitted, all phenotypes are read in.
geno.col
An optional numeric vector specifying which columns the genotypes of interest are in. If omitted, all genotypes are read in.
delim
A character string indicating the delimeter in the data file. The default indicates a comma-separated file (",").
na.strings
The symbol used to denote missing data in the file. Misspecifying this character can lead to errors in processing the file in which cape misstakenly thinks some phenotypes have character values in them.
check.chr.order
A logical value indicating whether the order of the chromosomes should be checked. In general, chromosomes should be entered in increasing numerical value. CAPE does not sort chromosomes, and they will be plotted in the order in which they are entered. If the chromosomes have non-numeric and non-X or Y names, and cannot be checked appropriately, or an alternate order is desired, set check.chr.order to FALSE.
