Mega2GenABEL {Mega2R}

generate gwaa.data-class object from a Mega2R database

Description

Call the Mega2R functions to: create a .tped file, a .tfam file and a .phe file. Then call the GenABEL functions to process these files: the .tped and the .tfam file are processed by convert.snp.tped to produce a tped.raw file. The latter is combined with a .phe (phenotype) file by load.gwaa.data to create a gwaa.data-class object in memory. All these files are deleted when the exits.

Usage

Mega2GenABEL(markers = NULL, mapno = 0, envir = ENV)

Arguments

markers

data frame of markers to be processed

mapno

specify which map index to use for physical distances

envir

'environment' containing SQLite database and other globals

Value

gwaa.data-class object generated from the Mega2R database
