This function accepts LOD scores and SNP locations and plots a heatmap of the QTL. Each QTL is scaled to between 0 and 1 and the QTL are hierarchically clustered. A tile plot is then created with QTL colored from white (strong) to black (weak). The motivation for this plot is to visualize QTL that may be coincident across different phenotypes.
Usage
qtl.heatmap(lod, ...)
Arguments
lod
Data frame, containing the SNP names, chromosome an dbp locations in columns 1 through 3 and LOD scores for all phenotyped in the remaining columns.
...
Additional arguments to be passed to plot.
Value
No value is returned. A tile plot is plotted from the data.
