11.7.5 Location LOD scores mapping model parameters

• See genedrop mapping model parameters, for statements specifying the genetic map for the markers.

map [chromosome I] [gender (M | F)] trait K all interval proportions X1 X2...

Interval proportions specify the proportional genetic distance between markers for the trial positions for the trait. The same ratios are used between each marker pair, regardless of the inter-genetic distance (in cM).

map [chromosome I] [gender (M | F)] trait K intervals J1... proportions X1 X2...

This statement specifies interval proportions, but between specific pairs of markers. Interval 1 is between markers 1 and 2, interval 2 is between markers 2 and 3, etc.

map [chromosome I] [gender (M | F)] trait K (beginning | ending | external) ([Kosambi] distances | recombination fractions) X1 X2...

This statement specifies trial trait positions on the chromosome before the first marker and/or after the last marker.
