hyper: Data on hypertension
Description
This is data from a real experiment on hypertension in the mouse. The
phenotype is the blood pressure. See the references below. Note that,
for most markers, genotypes are available on only the individuals with
extreme phenotypes. At many markers, only recombinant individuals
were typed. We thank Bev Paigen and Gary Churchill for allowing us to
distribute these data with the R/qtl package.format
The data is an object of class cross. See
read.cross for details. There are 250 backcross
individuals typed at 174 markers (actually one contains only missing
values), including 4 on the X chromosome, with one phenotype (blood
pressure).source
