Sliding Window Variable

Use this field to designate the sliding windows of markers to use to form haplotypes.

Sliding windows, the number of adjacent markers included in a haplotype, only can be defined within a group, so any values of this variable that are repeated in another group are treated as different windows. No overlapping can be performed when windows are defined in this manner.
