Test Window Size in cM

Use this field to specify how large the testing window is. Markers inside the testing window cannot be used as control markers.

Assume that W is the test window size, for each testing interval, except for the putative QTL , two markers that are at least W cM away from the testing interval (one for each direction) are first picked up to fit in the model to define a testing window for blocking other possible linked QTL effects on the test.

To Specify the Test Window Size:

Left-click in the text box and type the desired value.
