Framework Order Variable

This variable is used by the Linkage Map Order process to find the optimal marker order while honoring the constraints of the order of framework markers.

Important : When specifying a Framework Map in the Recombination and Linkage Groups process, this variable (while it is not used in the Linkage Group process) should be specified to ensure that it is included in the output data set to be used for marker ordering and specified in the Linkage Map Order dialog .
