Rcross

Rcross uses the information generated by Rmapand Rqtland randomly simulates a data set. Alternatively, it can also reformat MAPMAKER raw data files and `` cross.inp'' filetype formatted files. Table 2.4 presents the options for Rcross. The default values would create a simulated sample of 200 individuals backcrossed to $P_1$ with a heritability of 0.5 for the quantitative trait.
