Identifies chromosome breaks and calculates tick positions based on physical distances. Used for plotting genomic axes with consistent spacing.
markerAxis(includedSites, ChosenSites = "all", tickDist)A list containing:
CHROMbreaks: Positions of chromosome breaks.
CHROMnamesPos: Midpoints for chromosome labels.
CHROMnames: Unique chromosome names.
ticksPos: Positions for tick marks.
ticksNames: Tick labels in megabases.
BED-like file defining genomic sites, ideally output from vcf2diem.
Logical vector of sites to be analyzed.
Distance between tick marks along the chromosome in bp.
