Folder of Linkage Map Files

Use this field to specify the path to and name of the folder containing all linkage maps files to be used in building the consensus map.

Linkage map files must be SAS data sets (with the .sas7bdat extension) and each file must have at least three columns named: LinkageGroup, MarkerName, and MarkerPosition. The LinkageGroup column lists the linkage group names or indexes (numeric or character). The MarkerName column lists the marker names (character). Lastly, the MarkerPosition column holds the position (in centiMorgans) of each marker on the chromosome (numerical).

To Select the Folder Containing the Input Data Sets:

The method used for this specification can vary depending on whether JMP is connected to SAS on your local machine or connected to SAS on a server. You should refer to the Specifying Folders, Files, and Data Sets documentation for detailed information.
