karlin {hsrecombi}

Liberman and Karlin's genetic map function

Description

Calculation of genetic distances from recombination rates given a parameter

Usage

karlin(N, x, inverse = F)

Arguments

N

parameter (positive integer) required by the binomial model to assess the count (of crossover) distribution; N = 1 corresponds to Morgan's map function

x

vector of recombination rates

inverse

logical, if FALSE recombination rate is mapped to Morgan unit, if TRUE Morgan unit is mapped to recombination rate (default is FALSE)

Value

vector of genetic positions in Morgan units
