Drosophila {PBImisc}

Drosophila datasets and QTL mapping study

Description

Two datasets with genotypes and phenotypes for backcrossed Drosophilas.

Usage

data(Drosophila)

Format

Two datasets with genotypes and phenotypes for backcrossed Drosophilas.

The set of 41 markers describes genotypes while 5 variables describe phenotypes. See references for more details.

bm

A data.frame with 370 obs. and 46 variables, first 41 are genotypes of gene markers, last five describes genotypes

bs

A data.frame with 402 obs. and 46 variables, first 41 are genotypes of gene markers, last five describes genotypes

chr

Factor w/ 4 levels CBFbeta, FLT3, None, Other

pos

Markers position on chromosom in centimorgnas

Details

The phonotype pc1 is nicely described by genotype in both backcrossed datasets.

# calculate log likelihoods
pval1 = numeric(41)
for (i in 1:41) {
  y = Drosophila$bm$pc1
  x = factor(Drosophila$bm[,i])
  pval1[i] = logLik(lm(y~x))
}
