Returns a matrix of the blocking structure that contains 1s, 2s and 0s. 1s and 2s are the two sire strands. The choice of strand is arbitrary for each chromosome and not consistent across chromosomes. 0s indicate regions of unknown origin.
Arguments
GenotypeMatrix
matrix half-sib genotypes (one half-sib per row, with SNP ordered by mapping position in the columns. Data should be numeric. Use 0, 1 and 2 respectively for AA, AB and BB. Use 9 for missing data)
forwardVectorSize
integer number of heterozygous sites used to validate recombination events or check for genotyping errors (50k -> 30, 700k -> 120)
excludeFP
logical excludes SNPs that may cause heterozygous sites in the sire due to genotyping errors or map errors
nsap
integer number of SNP per block to validate recombinations (50k -> 3, 700k -> 10)
