marker_select: Select or remove attached markers

Description

Functions for manipulating markers attached to ped objects.

Usage

selectMarkers(x, markers = NULL, chroms = NULL, fromPos = NULL, toPos = NULL)
getMarkers(x, markers = NULL, chroms = NULL, fromPos = NULL, toPos = NULL)
removeMarkers(x, markers = NULL, chroms = NULL, fromPos = NULL, toPos = NULL)
whichMarkers(x, markers = NULL, chroms = NULL, fromPos = NULL, toPos = NULL)

Arguments

x

A ped object, or a list of such

markers

Either a character vector (with marker names), a numeric vector (with marker indices), a logical (of the same length as the number of markers attached to x), or NULL

chroms

A vector of chromosome names, or NULL

fromPos

A single number or NULL

toPos

A single number or NULL

Value

The return values of these functions are:

  • selectMarkers(): an object identical to x, but where only the indicated markers are kept

  • removeMarkers(): an object identical to x, but where the indicated markers are removed

  • getMarkers(): a list of marker objects. Note: If x is a list of pedigrees, the marker objects attached to the first component will be returned.

  • whichMarkers(): an integer vector with indices of the indicated markers. If x is a list of pedigrees an error is raised unless whichMarkers() gives the same result for all components.
