qtl (version 0.92-3)

write.cross: Write data for a QTL experiment to a file

Description

Data for a QTL experiment is written to a file (or files).

Usage

write.cross(cross, format=c("csv","mm"), filestem="data",
            chr, digits=5)

Arguments

cross

An object of class cross. See read.cross for details.

format

Specifies whether to write the data in comma-delimited or Mapmaker format.

filestem

A character string giving the first part of the output file names (the bit before the dot). In Windows, use forward slashes ("/") or double backslashes ("\\") to specify directory trees.

chr

A vector specifying for which chromosomes genotype data should be written.

digits

Number of digits to which phenotype values should be rounded.

Details

Comma-delimited format: a single csv file is created in the format read by read.cross.

Mapmaker format: Data is written to two files. Suppose filestem="file". Then "file.raw" will contain the genotype and phenotype data, and "file.prep" will contain the necessary code for defining the chromosome assignments, marker order, and inter-marker distances.
