dsmergen

Merges two data-sets in a consensus data-set, sharing order and distances.

Synopsis:

The dsmergen command is invoked either as:

• dsmergen Options
• dsmergen DsId1 DsId2

Description:

The dsmergen command merges two data-sets of compatible types in a single consensus data-set. If more then 2 data-sets need to be merged, this command must be called repeatedly. The consensus data-set built uses all the information available in the two data-sets for eg. maximum likelihood multipoint estimations. Only data-sets of ``compatible'' types can be merged using this merging operator:

• radiated hybrid data can only be merged with other RH data (and this assumes a similar level of irradiation)
• f2 (backcross/intercross) and outbred data can all be merged together using this operator,
• RIL data of a given type (Sib or Self) can only be merged with data-sets of the same type (Sib/Self respectively).

Arguments:

• Options : -u to obtain the synopsys of the normal use, -h to print a one line description, -H to print a short help.
• DsId1 DsId2: the numerical If of the two data sets to merge.

Returns:

a list summarizing some basic information on the merged data-set:

• numerical Id of the data-set.
• type of the data-set (i.e., merged genetic)
• number of markers in the data-set.
• number of individuals/hybrids in the data-set.

The number of markers is usually strictly less than the number of markers in each of the merged data-set (identical markers are detected by their identical name).

Example:

CG> dsload Data/bc.cg
{1 f2 backcross 20 208 /homes/thomas/carthagene/test/Data/bc.cg}
CG> dsload Data/bc1.cg
{2 f2 backcross 17 208 /homes/thomas/carthagene/test/Data/bc1.cg}
CG> dsmergen 1 2
{3 merged genetic 20 416}
CG> mrkinfo
