findSupport {polyqtlR}

Function to find a LOD - x support interval around a QTL position

Description

Given QTL output, this function returns the LOD - x support for a specified linkage group, taking the maximum LOD position as the desired QTL peak.

Usage

findSupport(LOD_data, linkage_group, LOD_support = 2)

Arguments

LOD_data

Output of QTLscan function.

linkage_group

Numeric identifier of the linkage group being tested, based on the order of IBD_list. Only a single linkage group is allowed.

LOD_support

The level of support around a QTL peak, by default 2 (giving a LOD - 2 support interval, the range of positions with a LOD score within 2 LOD units of the maximum LOD on that linkage group).

Examples

data("qtl_LODs.4x")
findSupport(LOD_data=qtl_LODs.4x,linkage_group=1)
