mqmgetmodel {qtl}

Retrieve the QTL model used in mapping from the results of an MQM scan

Description

Retrieves the QTL model used for scanning from the output of an MQM scan. The model only contains the selected cofactors significant at the specified cofactor.significance from the results of an mqm scan

Usage

    mqmgetmodel(scanresult)

Arguments

scanresult

An object returned by mqmscan, including cofactors and QTL model.

Value

The function returns the multiple QTL model created, which consists of the cofactors selected during the modeling phase of the algorithm. This model was used when scanning for additional QTL in the mqmscan function. The format of the model is compatible with the makeqtl function. For more information about the format of the model see the makeqtl page. When no cofactor was selected in the modeling phase no model was created, then this function will return a NULL value.
