| Name | read locus merlin |
| Arguments | <locus file name> [xli] [snp] |
Read locus names, types from a Merlin-format locus (.dat) file. Markers are treated as sex-linked when the xli modifier is used. Markers are stored as SNPs when the snp modifier is used, with reduced memory consumption.
Example:
>> file cat /main/home/davidD/sim/GxE/merlin.dat
M marker008
M marker009
M marker010
T dBP
C env
>> read locus merlin merlin.dat
Read in names of 5 loci from locus file.
>> lis
