listeria: Data on Listeria monocytogenes susceptibility
Description
This is data from a real experiment on susceptibility to Listeria
monocytogenes infection in the mouse. The phenotype is the survival
time (in hours) following infection. Mice with phenotype 264.0 hours
may be considered to have recovered from the infection. See the
references below. We thank Victor Boyartchuk and William Dietrich 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 120 F2 individuals typed at 133 markers, including 2 on the
X chromosome, with one phenotype.source
