NAME

Prepraw.pl - Input a mapmaker.raw file and prepare it for QTL Cartographer

SYNOPSIS

   Prepraw [-h]  < input  > output

DESCRIPTION

Prepraw.pl reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output. It reads a mapmaker.raw file and reformats it slightly. It will use standard tokens for each marker type. It will count the number of individuals typed for each marker, and print a warning if there are missing tokens.

OPTIONS

-h

requires no operand. If used, it prints a usage message and exits.

EXAMPLE

Suppose you have a MAPMAKER raw file called corn.raw. If you have trouble converting it with Rcross, then try this.

        % Prepraw.pl < corn.raw > corn2.raw

and check if there are the proper number of data points for each marker and trait.
