Given an mpcross object, this function will remove
markers which are clustered too tightly together to be
useful for QTL mapping. Markers will be removed from the
map, from the data, and from the estimated recombination
fractions, effectively subsetting the cross down to a
more spaced out grid of markers.
Usage
cleanmap(mpcross, mindist = 1)
Arguments
mpcross
Object of class mpcross
mindist
Minimum distance between markers in cM
Value
An mpcross object is returned which has markers removed
which are within the minimum distance specified. These
markers do not provide additional information for QTL
mapping and increase the computational burden.
