Data from two densely genotyped backcrosses.

Format

An object of class cross. See qtl::read.cross() for details.

Details

There are 94 individuals from each of two interspecific backcross: (C57BL/6J \(\times\) M. spretus) \(\times\) C57BL/6J and (C57BL/6J \(\times\) SPRET/Ei) \(\times\) SPRET/Ei. They were typed on 1372 and 4913 genetic markers, respectively, with 904 markers in common.
