Details

Use this function with caution. It would be best to incorporate new data into a single file to be imported with read.cross.

But if you have genotypes on one or two additional markers that you want to add, you might load them with read.csv and incorporate them with this function.

# genotypes for new marker
gi <- pull.geno(fill.geno(fake.f2))[,"D5M197"]

# add marker to cross
fake.f2 <- addmarker(fake.f2, gi, "D5M197imp", "5", 11)
